The other, who is he? considerations around Husserl’s phenomenology, Heidegger and Levinas.

Abstract

 The purpose of this paper is to present, briefly, the role that the figure of the other occupies the different philosophical conceptions of modern life. This will be elected the perspectives of Husserl, Heidegger and Levinas, as possible approaches to the issue. Starting from the phenomenology and attend to the levels of ontology, it may be to understand how the proposal is built as an authentic possibility of ethical approach to the relationship between human beings. Based on the allusion to I held on Thursday transcendental meditation Cartesian Meditations, you can see how the relationship with the other in Husserl establishes himself as the relationship between selves. Differently, based on paragraph 26 of Being and Time, will be listed in the footsteps of existential analytic in its definition of the essential condition of Being-in-world as Being-with-others, always drawing on the assumptions of an ontology fundamental. In Heidegger, the other is one that lives with me in the same surrounding world. Finally, the confrontation will be presented with the thought levinasian, which argues that only the levels of ethics if you can define the real relationship with the other, the final purpose of all human existence, here, the other is always somebody else.
