On the insomnia provoked by the "there is", at the ethical awakening of the face of the Other: following the footsteps of the levinasian vigilance as a critical and autocritical notion derived from de "epojé"
Abstract
Our objective consists of proposing that the concept of –from the levinasian perspective– the there is is ultimately the conceptual predecessor of the face of the Other, and that the extreme vigilance to which we awaken fundamentally consists of that decategorization of the critical and autocritical notion to which the vulnerability of the Other forces us to succumb to after having prevoluntarily felt its irreducibility. We speculate that this critical and auto-critical notion corresponds to the concept of the epojé, and therefore it permits to take all ontological processes back to their irreducible preoriginary state.Downloads
