Grounded in Emmanuel Levinas{\textquoteright} ethics and Jacques Derrida{\textquoteright}s response to that ethics, {\textquotedblleft}Other{\textquotedblright} as the first philosophy is explored as the ground for doing research. Research is explored here as the {\textquotedblleft}I{\textquotedblright} gazed upon by the {\textquotedblleft}Other{\textquotedblright} rather than as an action implemented by the researcher{\textquoteright}s will. The author describes how Bob Cooper inspired him to question the organization/disorganization relationship. However, the encounter with Levinas{\textquoteright} ethics caused me to subsume critique of Organization Studies to an even more radical research ethics, wherein investigation is not based on authorial intentionality but on a hospitality-based perspective. The ethics of writing-Other, wherein Other gazes upon one{\textquoteright}s efforts, is juxtaposed with the contemporary norms of university research. Tamara is embraced as a source of hospitality.},
