Synopsis "to the other: an introduction to the philosophy of emmanuel levinas (in English)"

The fruit of the author's many courses on Emmanuel Levinas in Europe and the United States, this study is a clear introduction for graduate students and scholars who are not yet familiar with Levinas's difficult but exceptionally important oeuvre. After a first chapter on the existential background and the key issues of his thought, chapters 2, 3, and 4 concentrate on and include a short text, "Philosophy and the idea of the Infinite," which contains the program of Levinas's entire oeuvre. Chapter 5 is a companion to the reading of Levinas's first opus magnum, Totality and the Infinite. It analyzes the structure of this book and shows how its questions and answers adhere together. "Through phenomenology toward a saying beyond phenomena and essence" could be the summary of Levinas's attempt to think, with and against Martin Heidegger, the otherness of the Other. This is brought out even more clearly in his second opus magnum, Otherwise Than Being or Beyond Essence, whose significance is shown in chapter 6. A bibliography is added to facilitate further study.

Nació en Kaunas (Lituania) el año 1906. Estudió filosofía en la Universidad de Estrasburgo (1923-1928) y después fenomenología en la de Friburgo, donde conoció a E. Husserl y a M. Heidegger. Se nacionalizó francés en 1930, año en que escribe La teoría fenomenológica de la intuición para dar a conocer el pensamiento de Husserl en Francia. Tras la segunda guerra mundial, la mayor parte de la cual estuvo prisionero, Levinas frecuentó los círculos filosóficos más en vanguardia, tanto de G. Marcel como de Jean Wahl.

En los años 50 da comienzo a una filosofía ética sumamente original. Influido por las filosofías dialógicas de F. Rosenzweig y M. Buber, Levinas redacta su primera gran obra: Totalidad e infinito (1961), cuyas intuiciones reelaborará en su segundo texto clave: De otro modo que ser o más allá de la esencia (1974), principal contribución al debate sobre el discurso metafísico.

Además de los textos estrictamente filosóficos, hay que mencionar sus escritos confesionales, especialmente los comentarios al Talmud, como Cuatro lecturas talmúdicas (1968) o De lo sagrado a lo santo (1977). Levinas murió en París, el 25 de diciembre de 1995.
