Emmanuel Levinas and Otherness (w/ Dr. Aaron Simmons)

Levinas is one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. His contribution to phenomenology, especially the concept of Otherness and responsibility is profound and insightful into many fields like religion, ethics, and more. In this episode, we are grateful to have Levinas scholar Dr. Aaron Simmons from ‪@philosophyforwherewefindou919‬ to talk about what the Other is to Levinas.
I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for the explanations but I think the hypothetical examples distract from the actual message of Levinas. The ethical encounter is between one and one other, the examples bring into discussion what Levinas calls politics
