“The entire life of a nation – beyond the formal sum of individuals standing for themselves, that is to say, living and struggling for their land, their place, their Da-Sein – carries within itself (concealed, revealed, or at least occasionally caught sight of) men who, before all loans, have debts, owe their fellowman, are responsible – chosen and unique – and in this responsibility want peace, justice, reason. Utopia!”
Emmanuel Levinas, Entre Nous, (2006) p.200
