As obras de Hannah Arendt e de Emmanuel Lévinas não podem ser dissociadas dos eventos catastróficos que marcaram o século XX, em especial, a Segunda Guerra mundial. Ambos vivenciaram a crise do da Civilização Europeia do século passado que havia mergulhado no self ao invés de valorizar a pluralidade. O objetivo do presente artigo é analisar natureza crítica da obra desses pensadores acerca do caráter ontológico e contemplativo da Filosofia Ocidental e como buscaram uma alternativa para o adoecimento do humanismo ocidental por meio de uma Filosofia do diálogo. Para o desenvolvimento desse artigo utilizou-se de uma metodologia hermenêutica e comparativa recorrendo a uma revisão bibliográfica dos pensadores supracitados e de outros que se dedicaram ao tema. A título de conclusão é possível inferir que a Filosofia ontológica que predominou desde o início dos tempos modernos no ocidente desencadeou uma racionalidade desmedida e autossuficiente que reflete e é refletida pela sociedade contemporânea alicerçada no isolamento, na competição, no consumismo e na indiferença. Sujeito apenas aos limites impostos pela própria consciência, o homem moderno se fechou em si mesmo sacrificando a transcendência. Criticando essa ética centrada no eu e indo além da Filosofia do diálogo de Martin Buber, Arendt e Lévinaspropõem uma perspectiva dialógica de pensar o si mesmo a partir e com o outro na busca de uma sociedade justa, assentada na pluralidade e na paz. Depositando uma fé profunda na capacidade humana de agir e realizar o milagre do renascimento, esses filósofos defendem que esse seria o sentido da própria existência.

The Impact

This article treats self-transcendence – like all transcendence – as a fact of human life. Inter alia this means that the human mind perforce operates in terms of binary concepts such as finitude–infinity, inner world–outside world, self–other, desire–fulfilment, separation–union and the like. We find these concepts in most myths of origin. The concept of desire (Eros), combining unfulfilment and the infinite, particularly epitomises self-transcendence. Ralph Waldo Emerson is cited as a precursor of the mid-19th century transcendentalists, whose ideas are resurfacing in present-day secular spirituality. In this article, we examined desire in the Christian conception of the Fall as envisioned by the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber and by Hegel, who integrates mind and nature in his philosophy of Spirit. The works of Emmanuel Levinas and Paul Ricoeur are used as points of reference to help us understand self and other in a framework of self-transcendence. The impact of these ideas on a postmetaphysical epistemology was also explored. Affectivity is a neglected area in Western thought and displays the same infinitude as rationality. The article concluded with present-day strategies of self-construction in a techno-scientific consumer culture.

El presente reporte de investigación muestra, de manera sintética, los resultados de una pesquisa presentada en el 2012 para optar por el grado de Licenciatura en Docencia en la Universidad Estatal a Distancia. La exploración de los desafíos éticos en el contexto educativo costarricense desde el planteamiento de Martin Buber y Emmanuel Lévinas es lo que pretende formular la presente investigación, procurando aportar al diálogo nacional el insumo de un elemento filosófico innovador, tenor de un impulso en futuros planteamientos educativos costarricenses que propicien un desarrollo humano cada vez más integral, donde la persona sea considerada en relación armónica con lo existente. Además, se presentan una serie de desafíos éticos que se desprenden de un análisis, en el cual confluyen diversas fuentes de información. La novedad radica en la confluencia de voces y la lectura ética de estos postulados desde el pensamiento de Martin Buber y Emmanuel Lévinas. La meta de la investigación postula un aporte al modelo educativo costarricense, así como a grupos gremiales de la educación y población en general, desde el enfoque de la filosofía del encuentro, desde el planteamiento del diálogo buberiano y el planteamiento de alteridad levinasiano, se puedan encontrar insumos necesarios para un replanteamiento -tanto desde el aspecto teórico como práctico- en el quehacer educativo nacional.

Šiame straipsnyje siekiama parodyti, kad dialogas, suprantamas visų pirma kaip santykis su Kitu, leidžia ne tik esmingai (per)interpretuoti vyraujančią tarpreliginio dialogo kaip formalių sąveikos modelių tarp religijų sampratą, bet ir religinio pliuralizmo fenomeną atskleidžia kaip iš pagrindų dialogišką. Martino Buberio dialogo kaip santykio samprata bei Emmanuelio Levino įžvalgos ir dialogo, kaip pažintinio santykio, kritika leidžia ne tik parodyti pliuralizmo fenomeno vidinį paradoksą – neredukuojamą daugio ir įvairovės reikalavimą tuo pat metu siekiant tą daugį valdyti ir institucionalizuoti, – bet ir paaiškinti angažavimosi tarpreliginiam dialogui galimybę.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: dialogas, Buberis, Levinas, pliuralizmas, Kitas.THE PRINCIPLE OF THE DIALOGUE AS A BASIS FOR THE RELIGIOUS PLURALISMLina Valantiejūtė SummaryThe main aim of this article is to show that the dialogue, primarily understood as a relation with the Other, allows us not only to essentially (re)interpret the dominating streams of understanding of inter-religious dialogue as a formal interaction between the religions as systems, but it also enables us to see the phenomena of religious pluralism as fundamentally dialogical. The concept of a dialogue as a dual relationship by Martin Buber combined with the philosophical insights of Emmanuel Levinas and the criticism of the concept of the dialogue as a cognitive relation allows us to reveal the internal paradox of the phenomena of religious pluralism (a fundamental demand for a non reductive quantity and diversity as well as need to control it) and to explain a possibility of engagement in an inter-religious dialogue.Keywords: dialogue, Buber, Levinas, pluralism, the Other.

Political Dimensions

This introduction provides an analytical back ground for the notion of vulnerability as it is currently perceived mainly in social sciences, ethics, philosophy, queer studies and governmentality. Used both as descriptive and normative term, vulnerability, along with resilience and policy management, has acquired political dimensions, which are distant from those given by the philosophers Hannah Arendt and Emmanuel Levinas. In present day social and political discussions vulnerability has gained enormous popularity and seems to be a genuine 'sticky concept', an adhesive cluster of heterogeneous conceptual elements.   Keywords: vulnerability, resilience, governmentality, intersectionality, racism, queer, vulnerable agency, sticky concept

What Matters

AbstractThis study explores the primacy of interrelating and its ecopsychological significance. Grounded in evidence from everyday experience, and in dialogue with the phenomenology of Martin Buber, Emmanuel Levinas, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, we discover that humans are inherently relational beings, not separate egoic subjects. When experienced intimately (not just conceptually), this realization may transform our (often pathological) interrelationship with the beings and presences in the community of nature. Specifically, interrelating is primary in three ways: 1) interrelating is always already here, transpiring from the beginning of the human species and human culture, from the beginning of every infant's life, and (most significantly) from the continuously arising beginning of every presencing moment; 2) the quality of our interrelating is truly what matters most, the most important expression of and facilitator of health, compassion, and justice for humankind and the rest of nature; and 3) interrelating is the ever-present path via which we discover/create and carry on our (inter)existence. Interrelating is an existential given—indeed we are our interrelating—yet we are summoned ethically to cultivate our way of interrelating so as to serve others and the non-human natural community. Thus interrelating is our essence, our calling, and our path.
