    Thank you for the very inspiring talk and discussion.

    An important thought I base my practice on is Levinas idea of “the face”.
    Levinas has this nice provocative idea of “the face of the other” as “the face of otherness”. Usually thinking, in an encounter “face to face” we have a first person (me) and a second person (you). In Levinas conception of “the face of the other” there appears a strange “Thirdness”, that might be interpreted as some devine (but here the discussion starts what Levinas “really” means with this Thirdness or “Illeité”). This somehow ambigue “face of the other” as being a face of a second/third person appears imperative in Levinas thoughts, it has an almost violent impact on the “me” in Levinas ethics. Somehow it appears scandalous (to stage “the face of the other” “above” the me), but for a caring practice this conception seems worth contemplating. So that in each face of a client the “face of the other(ness)” is present and challenging “me”. This can form an attitude of openness without pre-judgement of what kind of “otherness” will be encountered facing “the other”, in order to let the “otherness” unfold.
    Love this talks although I missed quite a lot. Please carry on.
    Katharina

    Thank you Filip for providing this course and accompanied provoking arguments. Rethinking ontology, or perhaps actually moving from ontology into (empathic) imaginative ontology, more away from ones ego self into “other”.
    Concerning communicative relations, Peter Roberts wrote an interesting article by using work of Levinas and Camus ” Education and the Face of the Other: Levinas, Camus and (mis)understanding” (2013). https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00131857.2013.772706
    Although written in the context of education it suits well within healthcare, it crossed my mind when listening the course and discussion and it felt as another example. Communicative relationships in healthcare are well served using Levinas work.
