Synopsis "Jenseits Des Seins Oder Anders ALS Sein Geschieht (in German)"

Levinas' Kritik an der abendlandischen Ontologie besteht darin, dass sie weder die Frage nach dem Anderen noch die ethische Frage nachdrucklich genug gestellt hat. Er betont, dass seine Beziehung zur Unendlichkeit des Anderen letztendlich der Erorterung unzuganglich bleibt. Gleichwohl halt er es fur die Aufgabe der Philosophie, dieser Beziehung Sprache zu verleihen. Levinas nimmt die Krise des neuzeitlichen Humanismus so ernst, dass im Kampf um die Sinnhaftigkeit einer bis an die Grenze gehenden Sprachlosigkeit die Berufung zu einer vorgangig anders bestimmten Conditio humana vernehmbar wird. Ihr Ort ist die Sinnlichkeit und Verletzlichkeit des Menschen, ihre Bestimmung eine unubernehmbare Passivitat, fur die man sich sowenig vertreten lassen kann wie fur das eigene Sterben.

Emmanuel Levinas (Kaunas, Lithuania, 1906 - Paris, France, December 25, 1995) was a prominent 20th-century philosopher, known for his contributions to ethical philosophy and his focus on otherness and transcendence. He studied Philosophy at the University of Strasbourg (1923-1928) and delved into phenomenology in Freiburg, where he was a student of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger. He became a French citizen in 1930 and began to spread phenomenology in France with works like The Phenomenological Theory of Intuition.

After World War II, during which he was a prisoner, Levinas developed an innovative ethical philosophy, influenced by thinkers like Franz Rosenzweig and Martin Buber. Among his most influential works are Totality and Infinity (1961) and Otherwise than Being or Beyond Essence (1974), which explore the concept of the relationship with the other as the basis of ethics.

In addition to his philosophical texts, Levinas wrote commentaries on the Talmud, such as Four Talmudic Readings (1968) and From the Sacred to the Holy (1977). After his death, posthumous editions of his works continued to be published, such as God, Death, and Time (2006), Alterity and Transcendence (2014), and New Talmudic Readings (2017).
