The hand From phaeonomenology to theology according to Levinas and Brun

Abstract

The hand fulfills rituals, perform works, congratulates someone for greetings, rises to heaven, plays instruments, writes and reads. Therefore, the hand will be the most polysemic organ of languages and for the language of all natures, as revealed by Human Anatomy and Physiology. With this paper we intend to construct a phaenomenology of instrumentality, as chirality, which contemplates different meanings, such as: ethics, theology and religion, in search of a new phaenomenology to clarify the very important aspects of the appearances of hands.
