Emmanuel Levinas has linked phenomenological analyses and references to Jewish sources, sometimes clearly expressed, sometimes implicit, in his most important writings. However, this connection raises many questions:

To discuss Levinas' legacy, after hundred years from his birth and at the beginning of the twenty-first century, means to ponder both our human condition - man's freedom, loving kindness and intelligence, but also man's weakness, frailty and cruelty - and the future of our civilization. The aim of the Conference is to offer possible answers to such problems, and analyses or suggestions about these different themes.
