The Levinasian Subject. An Introduction to the Philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas

      Аннотация: The study titled ‘The Levinasian Subject’ is an attempt to encounter the concepts of Subject proposed by Emmanuel Levinas. Presenting the life and work of Levinas it proceeds to discuss the Levinasian understanding of the Other as infinity, an Infinity which refers to the radical otherness. This work discusses also the ‘The Levinasian Subject’ considering the key concepts of Levinasian philosophy such as the Face, Responsibility, Substitution, Relationship to the Other, etc. The presence of the face of the other demands responsibility towards the Other – a responsibility which makes one vulnerable, fragile, non-in-dependent self, obsessed and hostage for the Other. The study concludes exploring the relevance of the Levinasian Philosophy and proposing the Levinasian Subject as the new subject that must be taken seriously.
