Dialogue as proxmity in the trought of Emmanuel Levinas

Abstract

Emanuel Levinas has developed his ethics of otherness from a vision of subjectivity as language and responsibility. This article investigates the Levinasian conception of dialogue as proximity and his dialogic notion of subjectivity. To the dialogue that seeks to coincide in reason, accounting for all diversity and alterity, it puts dialogue first as proximity and diakonia. Linguistic subjectivity is enunciated by Levinas as an original dialogue prior to the abstraction of reason and language as a transmitter of content, a dialogue that is proximity and contact with the height of the Face. The sensitive call of the Other and the responsible response are articulated in an original dialogue that maintains the  transcendence  of the relationship, a dialogue that is the ethical praxis of fraternity and hospitality.
