A new interpretation of “practical reason” is thus offered, starting from the accountability of human action
through communicative activity. “In the very process of its establishment, responsibility is a response to the Other,
at the same time with self-assertion; and, as Levinas emphasized, this intersubjectivity is already found in a sphere
that exceeds the threshold of dialogic and reflexive registers, finding its roots in the infra-verbal communication,
such is the look, for example” (Genard, 1992, p. 83, translation mine).
