Pronoms et visages - Lecture d'Emmanuel Levinas

Emmanuel Levinas has written one of the most original philosophies of our times, and we have the responsibility to read it, in the perspective of a real interpretation. That comprehension or embracing of the texts manifests the philosophical respect for the major work (see Sophist, 242a). From this point of view, we try to show the `pragmatic' structure of the ethical relationship, `the grammar of the Other' exposed by a fundamental ethics structured as a language ... The immanent reading of Levinas' texts opens to many other (already classical) interpretations and new perspectives of understanding and application.
