Sobre las ideas de ver y oír en los sistemas filosóficos de Emmanuel Levinas y de Enrique Dussel

Abstract

This work is the result of a doctoral research on the idea that Emmanuel Levinas and Enrique Dussel have about seeing and hearing. Since Aristoteles, these two senses have been grouped around Being, the foundation of Western philosophy, therefore, it is interesting to reflect on them from the philosophical systems of two of the thinkers who have assumed the task of leaving Being and going beyond their own horizon. Beyond Being, Levinas and Dussel, manage to create the there is and the creative Novelty, respectively, non-places, non-Greek, and pre-ontological places with which they create a new ethical subjectivity that we have here called alterative intentional subjectivity. In this new subjectivity, seeing and hearing, Being, non-Being, Nothingness, even the ontological language proper to philosophy, have no possibility. Therefore, both Levinas and Dussel inaugurate the grammar of meanings, an original language through which the tensions and approaches between both philosophers can be observed. Although this work is a hermeneutic investigation, the truth is that it is written in three voices, making use of the fruitful, useful and positive dialogical form that Dussel announces in his analytic method. It is, therefore, a polyphonic text encrypted in the ethical moment of the analectic in which the voices of Levinas, Dussel and the writer appear in dialogue. Finally, it is divided into two large sections: one Ethical and the other Metaphysical. This one is written in ontological language, close to Heidegger and represents a short theoretical framework on seeing and hearing; the other is dialogical and thinks the revealing word from the novelty of the Other.
