Abstract
Emmanuel Lévinas is known as a philosopher who set a new paradigm of thinking in the twentieth-century philosophy – the paradigm of another human being. In developing the concept of metaphysics as ethics, he pointed to what stands behind it, namely the Infinity, God and the Good to which God calls us through the face of the Other. In the text "The question has the last word". God in the thought of Emmanuel Lévinas I am looking for clues of God in the philosophical writings of Lévinas. Moreover, I point to the Judaic inspiration of his thoughts while reading his philosophical writings in combination with Talmudic comments. My research question is: how is it possible, that the philosopher who claimed that God is absent in our reality, at the same time constantly referred to him, and since the beginning of his scientific career considered the question of God as the most important in the fulfillment of the meaning of our human existence?
