The Fellow-man gives Time. Some critical remarks to Levinas Philosophical Project

Abstract

Ethics as first philosophy is the name that Levinas choose for his philosophical project. In this paper I give an approach for this project following three items: the new notion of act set up by phenomenological descriptions of intentionality and temporality given by Husserl; a reflection on phenomenological conditions of epojé and an original receipt, done by Levinas, of jewish thought about Fellow-man. Finally, I point out three critic conclusions about the levinasian project.
