El Rostro y la Otredad de Emmanuel Levinas como Elementos de Alteridad y su Implicación en el Personalismo Cristiano

Entering into the study of alterity as an ethical response in an endeavor to destroy anthropocentrism is really an adventure, and a very exciting one. The philosophical proposal of the following reflective study for personalism since Levinas reveals the feature of alterity as an answer in the other, under his gaze, his face, his presence without individual structure that breaks with indifference. It is for him an ethical structure that takes away our response. In this sense personalism is revitalized with permanent reflection and in some cases makes possible a praxis where theory can become alive. Otherness is not an ethereal concept, it can be conceived as lighting from love. The first ethics announced by Levinas is not a distant concept but something that may be possible as it has been possible to think of philosophy not as the love of wisdom but as the wisdom of love, which generates a paradigm shift. “In my philosophy, freedom is not the first notion. It is “heteronomy” and not “knowledge”. It is the responsibility to involve subjection to another”.
