Levinas' conceptualization is encapsulated in a principle for existence or for humanity that states, "Do not go inside, go outside!". It implies that the authenticity of human existence is ensured not by looking inwards (egocentrism) because one does not see oneself without the aid of others. Levinas supported the notion of a continual reinterpretation of history,  that the traditional history that which reduces singular persons to members of classes or tribes cannot be used to narrate the coming-to-pass of the Infinite in the ethical relation.
Levinas' concept of "Do not go inside, go outside!" highlights the importance of external relationships in defining human existence. He challenges egocentrism and advocates for a continual reinterpretation of history that recognizes the interconnectedness of individuals and their impact on each other.
