Abstract:
โFor my dear grandson, David, this book in which he will not always recognize - and not incorrectly - the God of his fathersโ: Levinas' dedication encapsulates the issues he addresses in the thirteenth essays collected in De Dieu qui vient ร l'idรฉe (Of God who comes to mind). In contrast with a whole tradition of Jewish and Christian philosophy (Juda Halevi, Blaise Pascal), Levinas' God is nor โThe God of the philosophersโ, neither โthe God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacobโ. โGodโ is not an object of thought or of faith, He cannot be approached nor by rational knowledge, neither through dialogue, or religious and mystical experience. Basing himself on Husserl's phenomenology as well as on Talmudic tradition and on the writings of Rabbi Haim Voloziner, Levinas focuses on the ethical meaning encapsulated in the word โGodโ. Despite his quasi absence, โGodโ - or the absolute transcendence signified by this word - is never indifferent to the โhere belowโ, he is never detached from โterrestrial existence and from human societyโ, from the place where infinite responsibility for the other is incumbent on me. In addition to his insights on โGodโ, Levinas deals with issues such as politics, religion and language, the Marxist concept of ideology, death, hermeneutics, the concept of evil, the philosophy of dialogue. He addresses the thought of Husserl, Heidegger, Rosenzweig, Buber, Bergson, Kierkegaard, Marx, Ernst Bloch, and Derrida
