How many messiahs, how many alephs? Levinas’ talmudic “messianic texts” in three numbers, and André Neher’s biblical response
This article approaches Levinas’s 1963 Talmudic reading entitled “Messianic Texts” in light of the metaphoric numbers 0, 1, and 2. “Zero” will refer to unforeseen silences in the Talmudic text in question (here, Rabbi Eleazar’s sudden silence in the debate about the conditions of redemption, as well as commentator Rashi’s silence on Talmudic discussions about a certain “identity” of the messiah. The number “one” concerns a textual hapax: Rabbi Hi…
Phenomenological aesthetics and the “Manufacture of the Guilty (Fabricación de culpables)”
This article opens with a discussion of incarceration in the time of Covid 19. The story of one of the inmates in the high-security prison of Puente Grande (Mexico) leads us back to the beginning of the fifteen-year-long imprisonment of an innocent and, with it, to a complex narrative. The story concerns the use of the juridical concepts of delincuencia organizada (organized crime), racketeering, and kidnapping. As a charge it has been repeatedly…

The Face in Levinas: Toward a Phenomenology of Substitution
This is a study of the way in which Levinas approaches the experience of human expression from two perspectives: firstly, as a pre-thematic or pre-cognitive “experience,” which requires that he revisit Husserl's pre-objective intentionality and explore the relationship between the upsurge of sensation (“Urhylè”) and its “intentionalization” as consciousness self-temporalizing. Thereafter, Levinas must contend with the implications of his own writ…
Levinas’s Weak Messianism in Time and Flesh, or The Insistence of Messiah Ben David
From 1947 through 1974, Levinas worked out a first philosophy against fundamental ontology and in a very conscious tension with conceptions of messianism that turn on an other “time” or a “uchrony” of a future of promise or hope. In Existence and Existents, Levinas first began reworking the phenomenology of subjective time toward an interpretation of the “transcendental I” as embodied and caught up in cycles of its own repetitive birth to conscio…
Is There a "Correlation" between Rosenzweig and Levinas
How often has it been said, fairly, that the "German-Jewish" experience carried its hyphen, until recently at least, largely for German Jews? This hyphen—which has opened a decade of debate about what symbolic conjunctions like this are, culturally and politically speaking—continued, despite its wartime "interruption," in the thought of Levinas, Derrida, and other contemporaries. It is a fair claim that the terms of the hyphen (if they were ever …

Remarks on Emmanuel Levinas's Contribution to Classical and “Situated” Justice
In 1968, at the height of political unrest in Europe and North America, in the heyday of French existentialism, Marxism, and psychoanalysis, Emmanuel Levinas published an essay curiously opposed to the emerging “canon” of the time, in defence of humanism. Both with and against psychoanalysis’ and structuralism’s decentring of the subject and the Marxist critiques of bourgeois humanism, Levinas called for a different conception of humanism. He sug…

Courtine consacre a «Heidegger et la phenomenologie» qui soutient l'unite de l'oeuvre de Heidegger comme deconstruction de la tradition philosophique sans tenir compte de la profonde rupture de sa pensee, et (qui soutient) la continuite de la question de l'Etre dans l'esprit de la phenomenologie de Husserl; seule l'introduction de la notion d'intersubjectivite dans la conception heideggerienne du langage et du dia…
