Introduction: on proximity and distance between Jean-Paul Sartre and Emmanuel Levinas or about the possibility of conducting a dialog
2022
Abstract
The introduction of the book explains the basic ideas of the anthology and introduces the individual contributions. The basic ideas are the simultaneous proximity and distance between Sartre and Levinas.
These are demonstrated on the basis of their actual relationship and encounters, their references and reactions to each other, and a comparison of their philosophical reflections. This is the basis for the idea of a dialogue that goes beyond both thinkers.
