Locating my suffering and death in infinity’s ethics

ENIn order that being be defined by potentiality as opposed to actuality, Heidegger, Levinas holds, inserted into phenomenology a subject which has its being always to-be, a subject which does not realize a finality in its relation to being, but which accomplishes the event-like nature of being: such a being is in relation to its death. For the being which is in relation to its death stands in the possible par excellence, “because all other possibilities fulfill themselves and become acts, whereas death becomes non-reality, non-being.” But Levinas wonders whether, in this being towards death, being is exhausted when thought as event never passing into actuality. For being, merely characterized as possibility or ‘power,’ potentiality, loses the very flavor of being — its taste. Indeed, being’s taste is ill in the mouth, disgusting and repulsive, because the ‘event’ at the heart of being is my disquietude over being, my horror of being, which is the horror of “the evil in Being...the evil of Being.” The human spirit is surely enacted and effected in our relationship with being, but what does this relationship mean for that spirituality, and where does it carry one?.
