By undermining reciprocity, certain situations of illness come to question the recognition and belonging of the other to a common humanity. Reading Merleau-Ponty and Levinas allows us to sketch a phenomenology of the encounter in the absence of communication. Flesh in the one and vulnerability in the other reveals a proximity in spite of oneself. The uncanny of the other refers to a primordial experience of distress and dependence that is common to us all. From this, an ethic of proximity can be constituted from the sensitive.
