Levinas's ethical phenomenology proposes, as it is discussed in the main body of this study, biblical and not experimental evidence to discuss subjectivity, which can be justified only by prioritizing the Other and not the Self.

There is an intersubjective dissymmetry and that is mistakenly avoided in analytical philosophy. Whe...

In this book we shall be arguing, among other things, for a belief or set of beliefs that neither requires God or is necessarily incompatible with such a spiritual presupposition. It is our view that modern belief does not require God, but may, nevertheless let Him in if so desired. What is most important though is that belief be viewed as a metaphysical-existential category of being that precedes every other category. Thus, for a human to be ...
