In Chapter VII, I stated that I would examine the themes of subjectivity and justice in light of prophetism and messianic consciousness. I have sketched Levinas' problematic subjectivity in light of transcendence in immanence. I opened the question of the meaning of the signifier, "God," in the schema of the self who is an other. The exploration of the questions of justice, prophetism and messianic consciousness is best served, I believe, by prolonging the inquiry concerning God and prophetism into our discussion of intersubjectivity in OBBE. Such a task is undertaken by Levinas himself in his remarkable final chapter, "Subjectivity and Infinity."¹ We are now in a position to grasp the logic at the heart of this chapter in which the notion of desire returns as "The Wisdom of Desire"² and as a certain inversion of philosophy into prophetic announcement.
