Emmanuel Levinas libro Totality and Infinity

Contesto: The moral consciousness can sustain the mocking gaze of the political man only if the certitude of peace dominates the evidence of war. Such a certitude is not obtained by a simple play of antitheses. The peace of empires issued from war rests on war. It does not restore to the alienated beings their lost identity. For that a primordial and original relation with being is needed.

Totality and Infinity (1961)

“The transition of the subject-object relation to that of the I-Thou implies a passage of consciousness to a new sphere of existence, viz, the interval, betweenness or Zwichen; and this is a passage from thought to Umfassung.”

A Religion for Adults (1957)

On the doctrine of prefiguration.
Persons or Figures (1950)

“The theory of transparency was set up in reaction to the theory of mental images, of an inner tableu which the perception of an object would leave in us.

The Levinas reader by Levinas, Emmanuel p. 84

“By asserting the objectivity of the physical world, natuaralism identifies the existence and the conditions of existence of the physical world with existence and the conditions of existence in general. It forgets that the world of the physicist necessarily refers back, through its intrinsic meaning, through the subjective world which one tries to exclude from reality as being pure appearance, conditioned by the empirical nature of man, which is incapable of reaching directly to a world of things in themselves. But while the world of the physicist claims to go beyond naive experience, his world really exists only in relation to naive experience.”
