PHILOSOPHY AND LITERATURE: ETHICS AS CHIASMA IN THE WRITING OF LEVINAS

Abstract

The article aims to present the intrigue between Philosophy and Lite­rature in the work of Levinas. Thanks to the genuine character of his ethics of otherness, his work can be considered as an authentic chiasm of the incarnate spirit. First, this study will emphasize a way of philosophizing that is rooted in Sensibility and through which the intrigue between ethics and language is woven according to the temporality of the others' sensations. Then, it presents the literary traits of the author's philosophy that turn his work into a poetic­-pneumatic writing that can be configured as an authentic post-ontological her­meneutic philosophy.
