Fenomenología de la sonoridad. Formas alternativas del sentido en las conferencias inéditas de Emmanuel Levinas

Abstract

In Levinas' unpublished lectures at the Collège philosophique, there is an analysis of the western conception of language because of a luminal paradigm of logical-conceptual relationship with being: a silent world that reveals itself in light. Phenomenology would not have been able to move away from traditional metaphysics, which encloses and dominates the being that is given in the light through reason, reducing it to the uniformity. Levinas finds in the sonority of sound a key to philosophical interpretation with the potential to design an alternative form of relationship with existence where otherness is expressed itself. Therefore, it is proposed the paradigm of sonority, as a refulgence, of the alternative being to that of light.
