- Title
LINGUAGEM ÉTICO-RELIGIOSA EM EMMANUEL LÉVINAS.
- Authors
Tomé, Márcia Eliane Fernandes
- Abstract
This article intends to show how ethic-religious language or social relation in Emmanuel Lévinas' thinking is capable of opposing the onto-theological discourse about God. First, we will try to show the presuppositions through which Lévinas conceives ethical language that is taken from objective or ontological discourse thanks to the existing previous to the being. After that, we will analyze the meaning language assumes in the author's thinking and his critique to the onto-theological discourse. Finally, the investigation will demonstrate that Levinasian hermeneutics is ethical, full of opening to the other, filled with solicitude and that the glory of Infinite, in the saying of the prophetic language, can only be glorified in an ethical relation, where man is always led to responsibility by another man: it is in the testimony of prophetic language that God significance signifies eternally.
