Not "I am" but "Here I am." God called to Moses and Moses responded, "Here I am." God called to Samuel and Samuel responded, "Here I am." The other calls to me and I respond, "Here I am." "Here I am" is emblematic of the origin of my identity as a moral being. It represents my responsibility for the other. This is the general case. Multiply this by all the people in the world, and we have a network of mutual responsibility.
