Abstract：Recognition is an important issue in the field of social philosophy. Different from the field of social philosophy，which emphasizes self-awareness through the recognition of others，Levinas’ethics of the other expresses a passive asymmetrical relationship of recognition，the essence of which is unconditional acceptance and respect for others. In education，the ultimate goal of our appeal to recognition is to achieve a dignified educational life in which differences coexist. However， the heterogeneity of recognition that emerges in educational interactions fundamentally dissolves human heterogeneity and makes educational relationships progressively homogenized. By virtue of Levinas’ethics of the other， the asymmetrical recognition of the unconditional “for the other” maximizes the dignity of human beings. In this sense， the educational relationship should move toward a relationship of recognition“for the other”，and through the creation of a dialogic space of asymmetrical recognition，we can move toward a dignified educational life in an ethical relationship that is responsible for the other.
