Abstract
This article aims to highlight fundamental Levinasian criticisms, essentially against Husserl and Heidegger, and therefore against any form of logocentrism in the Western philosophical tradition. This clearly explains the continual effort in Levinas to found a new conception of the relationship to the other, based mainly on the ontological primacy of responsibility towards the other, which is explicitly based on a phenomenology of the face, thus going beyond on the one hand, the intentional consciousness of Husserl, and on the other hand the question of being in Heidegger. And so on, Levinas claims to substitute ethics for ontology in order to arrive at the fundamental idea of ethics as primary philosophy.
