| français | Celebration of Emmanuel Levinas Centennial |
| January 1-December 31, 2006 | עברית |
Organizing Committee:
The goal of this Conference is to discuss the opportunities open by Levinas’ Metaphysics. After centuries of modern reflective philosophy concentrated on the Self regarded as a subject and its relation to the world, objects, society, etc., Levinas’ call to rethink this philosophy of subject’ power and to take into consideration right of the Other, forms the great challenge of Postmodernity. According to Levinas, first philosophy is ethics rather than ontology, epistemology, logic, etc.
