Drawing on the work of Irigaray and Levinas, this paper discusses the ethical limitations of Lacan's “mirror-stage” dynamic and interpolates a different interpretation of the material he uses to elaborate his theory. Close attention is paid to the significance of metaphors of vision and touch in the work of the three philosophers. The paper develops into an analysis of bigamy's and Levinas's interpretations of touch as the differential site of ethics
