O problema do humano em Emmanuel Lévinas

Abstract

This text aims to investigate the relationship between two great civilizational logics:  the logic of the “worry on being” or logic of the worry with himself , and the logic of  the  care of the other . We follow, for one side, the critical analysis that Lévinas does  about the Occident and its Humanism; for another side, we follow the logic of the Holy  Scripture and the indication of another civilizational process, other Humanity. We  intend to show, as expected results, these two logics tensioned constitute the “razor’s  edge” of Lévinas proposal; putting them closer having ahead the notion of Subjectivity  is, in Lévinas,  to walk over the razor’s edge. The methodology used is a bibliographic  research conducted under the inspiration of Critical Hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur.
