Document Details : Title: Levinas et son appropriation de la lutte pour la reconnaissance hégélienne Author(s): BALBONTIN-GALLO, Cristóbal Journal: Tijdschrift voor Filosofie Volume: 83 Issue: 2 Date: 2021 Pages: 295-321 DOI: 10.2143/TVF.83.2.3289687 Abstract : Through a reading of Fichte’s intersubjective recognition, young Hegel became aware of a reception of otherness as a condition for the constitution of transcendental subjectivity. However, Hegel later distanced himself from Fichte, who saw a purely negative perspective of freedom and consciousness in its relation to others. From then on, Hegel pleaded for an amplification of the figure of recognition as a dimension of reciprocal and mutual recognition that serves as a passage to the universal and, therefore, to the conceptual development of the objective spirit. It is well known that Levinas is a critic of Hegel’s thought and his theory of recognition. Nevertheless, Levinas seems, at the same time, to incorporate in his own philosophy what Hegel sought to abandon in his own version of intersubjective recognition. Our intention is thus to show how, never openly but rather in an implicit way, Levinas’s thought is nourished by various aspects of Hegel’s recognition by integrating it in the whole of his thought and making Levinas, therefore, a more Hegelian thinker than has been thought. |
