Abstract

This article investigates an intriguing ambivalence in Lévinas’s reading(s) of Husserl’s phenomenology of internaltime consciousness. The article focuses on the specific treatment of the Husserlian ‘protoimpression’, suggesting that one (underappreciated) aspect of Lévinas’s approach may serve to undermine, or even ‘unsay’, its better known counterpart.
