Document Details : Title: Note sur le rapport de Marion à Levinas Author(s): SEBBAH, François-David Journal: Etudes phénoménologiques - Phenomenological Studies Volume: 7 Date: 2023 Pages: 59-73 DOI: 10.2143/EPH.7.0.3291054 Abstract : This article purports to analyze and interpret Jean-Luc Marion’s reading of Emmanuel Levinas by focusing on the 'things themselves': command, the face, and love. The goal is to show that phenomenology itself is at stake between the commandment coming from the face of the other (Levinas) and love (Marion). As a preliminary, there is a brief summary of Marion’s thought on love and the 'saturated phenomenon'. The essay concludes with the perspective taken by Jean-François Lyotard on Levinas’s work when he focuses on the 'commandment' and the rupture with phenomenology that this commandment would demand. This reading by Lyotard in some respect appears to be symmetrically opposed to that of Marion. This split in Levinas’s thought 'between' Marion and Lyotard sheds light on a 'French moment' in phenomenology. |
