See Levinas, Difficult Freedom, essays on Judaism (Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1990), p. 22: 'Each one, as an 'I', is separate from all the others to whom the moral duty is due. [. . . ] From then on, there is no moral awareness that is not an awareness of this exceptional position, an awareness of being chosen. Reciprocity is a structure founded on an original inequality. For equality to make its entry into the world, beings must be able to demand more of themselves than of the Other, feel responsibilities on which the fate of humanity hangs, and in this sense pose themselves problems outside humanity. [. . . ] It is a particularism that conditions universality, and it is a moral category rather than an historical fact [. . . ]. '
