Abstract

The present paper's objective is to analyse Emmanuel Levinas' critical thoughts on liberalism. This analysis will focus on two conceptual axes present in Levinas' arguments: liberal state's "worried conservatism" and "reason of war". Based on these two main ideas a critical interpretative model will be articulated on the foundations of liberal sociability. This model is valid even today.
