At the Heart of a Chiasm Derrida and Lévinas, Lévinas and Derrida.
- Authors
Mosès, Stéphane
- Abstract
The article offers the author's insights on the reflections of the two philosophers Derrida and Lévinas in their books of essays. She says that Derrida's reflection on Lévinas begins in the book "Violence et métaphysique" book and continuous until "Adieu" and "Le mot d'accueil" in 1966. The author cited Derrida's dialogue which states that Lévinas had animated all the philosophical gestures including boldness, profundity, and a determination that calls for empiricisms in the history of philosophy. She mentions that Derrida places emphasis on the ambiguities in which certain of metaphors bear witness. The author adds that Derrida's critique over Lévinas' writings will develop the notion of exteriority.
