Other and Structure of Experience : between Blanchot and Lévinas

Publication |
2009

Abstract

Critical approach to the classical phenomenological interpretation of the experience leads Emmanuel Lévinas and Maurice Blanchot to the development of the alternative conception. This conception deals with experience that transgresses the thinking and with the reality that is an alterity to the thinking.

The experience of the alterity tearing the wholeness and the temporal unity of the human thinking is, nevertheless, treated in a different way by these two authors. This fact leads to a different notion of the human subjectivity.
