  • - Samtaler med Philippe Nemo
    by Emmanuel Levinas
    £8.49

    Emmanuel Lévinas er dette århundredes store etiske tænker. I Etik og Uendelighed får man en kortfattet, men indholdsrig præsentation af hans fascinerende tænkning, hvor etikken er førstefilosofi.Bogens samtaler med Philippe Nemo fandt sted i 1981 og behandler bl.a. Lévinas’ baggrund i den jødiske kultur og et af hans tilbagevendende temaer: ansigtet. Forholdet til ansigtet er umiddelbart etisk: »Ansigtet er det, man ikke kan slå ihjel, eller i det mindste det, hvis betydning er: ’du må ikke slå ihjel’.« Hos Lévinas bryder ansigtets etik med totalitetsfilosofien.Emmanuel Lévinas (1906-95) blev født i Litauen og kom til Frankrig i 1923. Fra 1928-29 studerede han i Freiburg hos Edmund Husserl og Martin Heidegger og var fra 1961-67 professor i Poitiers og fra 1967 ved Sorbonne i Paris. Lévinas bidrog til fænomenologiens introduktion i Frankrig. På dansk foreligger desuden Totalitet og uendelighed (1996).Etik og Uendelighed udkom første gang på dansk i 1995 og genudgives nu i Hans Reitzels Forlags serie Klassikere.

  • - Et essay om exterioriteten
    by Emmanuel Levinas
    £14.49

    I 1961 udkom Lévinas’ hovedværk Totalitet og Uendelighed, som samler 25 års fænomenologisk refleksion. Værket tager udgangspunkt i kropsligheden som grundlaget for eksistensen, førend tingene bliver til objekter, og førend vi forholder os refleksivt til os selv. Lévinas kritiserer både Husserl og Heidegger for at have glemt kroppens og sanselighedens betydning og bestemmer det menneskelige som dette at nyde uden nytte, idet nydelsen er kærligheden til livet. I Totalitet og Uendelighed gør Lévinas jeg-du-forholdet mellem mennesker til eksistensens mening, og ansigtet får i Lévinas’ tænkning en central, metafysisk dimension som fordringen om at tage vare på den anden. Dette er det egentlige og det uendelige i det enkelte menneskes eksistens, og etikken bliver herved ”første filosofi”.Lévinas blev født i Litauen i 1906 og flygtede i 1923 til Frankrig, hvor han indledte filosofiske studier. Efter et studieophold i Freiburg blev hans tænkning stærkt påvirket af Hegel, Husserl og Heidegger. Men også Franz Rosenzweig har med sin omfattende Hegelkritik præget Lévinas afgørende. Emmanuel Lévinas døde 1995 i Paris.Totalitet og Uendelighed udkom første gang på dansk i 1996 og genudgives nu i Hans Reitzel Forlags klassikerserie.
