[Caring: searching for consensus or principle of necessary conflict?].
By dint of habits, the demand of consensus substitute the poison for the remedy. The consensus sounds the death knell for the ethics. Pursuing (striving towards) the unity, the consensus demonizes the conflict and seek explicitly a way to eliminate it regarding its visible chaos. A contrario, dissensus assures, by the fertile link of speech, the ethic blow of the "living-together" concept. Thereby, a "double-je" appears, able to say "Here I am" to the other, whoever it is, looming or vulnerable. Dissensus signs the emancipation, the unfold of the subject and point at surpassing oneself. The displaying process goes through an ipseity reasoning which emerges from otherness, free itself from the latter, to finally return to it in terms of solicitude: to live with, against and for the other. This work tries to show the dissensus as a sound and required conflict, which guarantees an opening ethics, a path of excellence for the one who are concerned by the best thing a human being can offer: caring.
