The thought of time by Levinas is indeed a profound message which gives us a radical change in our understanding of our spiritual life. The western philosophy is so far based on the principle of self-identity and selfconsciousness. He criticized this philosophy that this standpoint of self-identity is connected with the control of time and causes all sort of war in this world. And he tried to lead us to another dimension of time. He named this time or rather trans-time "diachronie". "Diachronie" changes the direction of human life from the influence of desire and selfishness to that of the ethics of "autrui" and the absolute love. But his thought toward this love involves severe problems, i.e. "passage","substitution", "vulnerabilite" and "etirement de l'etre". We will ask these problems and try to clarify some situationand meaning of these concepts .
