2Beyond the Primacy of RepresentationCritical Hermeneutics 8. 2024.The primacy of representation, to which – at least according to Paul Ricoeur – Edmund Husserl would have remained faithful, is radically questioned in Emmanuel Levinas’ famous essay on the "ruin of representation" (1959). The phenomenological structure of intentionality, in which “something appears as something”, confirms the need to “break out of the magic circle of representation”. Indeed, it is precisely by means of a detailed analysis of “intentionality”, insofar as the latter appears as cha…Read more

5Remarques sua religion et politique chez lévinasVeritas – Revista de Filosofia da Pucrs 40 (157): 27-35. 1995.O Autor investiga os conceitos de política e religião na obra do filósofo Emmanuel Lévinas, destacando principalmente suas mútuas implicações e detendo-se na característica corretiva da concepção levisiana de religião com relação à política que, deixada a ela mesma em um processo de auto justificação, degenera em totalidade.

3Intuition and Unanimity. From the Platonic Bias to the Phenomenology of the PoliticalIn Véronique M. Fóti & Pavlos Kontos (eds.), Phenomenology and the Primacy of the Political: Essays in Honor of Jacques Taminiaux, Springer. 2017.My homage to Jacques Taminiaux aims to show the fecundity of his investigations on the theoretical privilege of intuition, by pointing out the political implications of the “seduction of unanimity”. The latter implies a deep depreciating of multiplicity of opinions, and consequently a virtual destruction of political space. The internal link between immediacy and unanimity implies the short-circuit between inter-locution and inter-action in favor of the purported objectivity and universality of …Read more

9n his last writings published after his death under the title "La fine del mondo", Ernesto de Martino described the cultural crisis of the Western civilization as the extreme risk of a loss of “presence”. This word meant for him the human effort of giving sense to nature and external reality through a general kind of "Kulturareit". The only human way to react to this criseswas for him the will for history. Starting from de Martino, the paper tries to reflect on contemporary implications of a new…Read more

12Levinas et la médiation impenséeVeritas – Revista de Filosofia da Pucrs 50 (2): 229-237. 2004.O texto investiga a constituição da subjetividade ética no pensamento de Levinas, com especial ênfase na estrutura de mediação que estrutura faticamente o sentido da irrupção da alteridade no universo auto-referente do “mesmo”, em termos de uma “ética temporalizada”.

3In Western societies the relation between institutions and norms presents itself like an explicitly instituted relation which is ruled by verifiable public procedures. The anthropological analysis allows a full consideration of this juridical experience. It focuses on some of its specific characteristics which identify it and contextualize it, removing thus any pretension of absoluteness to the Western experience. In such a way, the specific Greek-Western contribution to the constitution of “jur…Read more

30The Self-Presupposition of the Origin: Homage to Cornelius CastoriadisThesis Eleven 49 (1): 45-67. 1997.Thinking the origin in a radical way amounts to thinking the movement by which what does not proceed from something else - what does not have its origin elsewhere - comes to itself, has within itself precisely the ontological energy to detach itself from itself and to exist as origin. In its primordial sense, then, origin is self-origin: it is, becomes, and is known starting from itself. This self-presupposition of the origin constitutes the very advent of Being, its unmotivated and permanent up…Read more

447L’après coup du désirStudia Phaenomenologica 6 (n/a): 97-115. 2006.In his first reading of Husserlian phenomenology, Levinas offered a very interesting criticism of the very notion of intuition, understood as an impossible pretension to grasp in its supposed immediacy the self-giving of the Origin. In his mature work, the role of the Husserlian intuition is played by desire: but the latter is conceived in its strong irreducibility to nostalgia. Human desire is always desire of the same for the other. This paper tries to understand the delayed temporalityof desi…Read more
