The purpose of this study is to explore the task of character education based on E. Levinas’ ‘the ethics of the Other’. Levinas criticized the ontological tradition of the western as the philosophy of totality, while devoting himself to establish ethics of the Other, primarily based on ‘the Other’. The ethics of the Other is founded on the ethical subject that the basic fundamental of the relationship is essentially about the moral sensitivity, which is to continuously open oneself to others, to welcome one another and to embrace their pain. The ethics of the Other provides many implications on the moral therapy and recovery of character which are strongly requested by the modern ethical deviance. The ethical self, emotional acceptability and responsibility to the Other through the faces are the main emphasis of the ethics of the Other which could potentially provide an important practical virtues and guidance to character education that we should aim for. Ultimately, the character education should be instructed on the base of the ethical subject that can be fulfilled with moral sensitivity and ethical responsibility.
