International Conference in Commemoration of Emmanuel Levinas (1906-1995)

Emmanuel Levinas was one of the most important and influential philosophers of the 20th century. Born and raised in Lithuania in a Jewish environment, he spent most of his active life in France, where he was first recognized as a follower and interpreter of Edmund Husserl and developed his complex philosophy. Levinas' thought epitomizes the spiritual and intellectual problematic of humanity after the Second World War: the crisis of metaphysics, of anthropology, of epistemology. He faces the deflation of traditional concepts without escaping into frivolous plays of words and performances. His 'Philosophy of the Other' offers a philosophical foundation for any policy of diversity in a paradoxical world of increasing interchangeability and tension among peoples.
