E. Levinas

O Autorze

Emmanuel Levinas was a prominent French philosopher known for his work in existentialism and phenomenology. Born in Lithuania, he later moved to France, where his ideas gained significant traction, particularly in the realm of ethics and the philosophy of otherness. Levinas challenged traditional Western philosophy by emphasizing the importance of the ethical relationship with the 'Other,' arguing that the face-to-face encounter with another person is the foundation of morality. His works, such as "Totality and Infinity" and "Otherwise Than Being," explore the tension between self and other, and the implications of this relationship on personal identity and societal structures.
