A alteridade levinasiana e a teoria do direito: a vinda à presença de um outro

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the ethics of the levinasian alterity in order to criticize the theoretical basis of Western Law, while seeing it as a political tool of totalisation. It still sets out to interpret the principle of the universality of Human Rights as a reflection of the ethics of Lévinas, which is believed to reside in this historical-political framework a bias of openness to the other as a real and external data in subject-subject relations, thus re-representing the notion of responsibility, ethics and justice. This project also points out the contemporary motives that give rise to the need to rethink the alterity in the current Law taking into consideration the character of infinite exteriority, and, from this, the inclusive public policies are criticized, believing them to be instruments of totalization on The excuse of generating a citizenship and that, in fact, are nothing more than a movement of elimination of the other, of the minorities, of the mere search for the manufacture of a national citizen, therefore restrictive. He concluded about the existence of an unsustainability of the current model of organization, considering, above all, the exclusions generated and becoming increasingly evident, since the capitalist model of economic organization, subsidized by the necessity of constant production, manufactures its expendables, being The state's right to maintain these atrocities, especially in denying the implementation of openness to the other generated by the principle of universality and which was largely a fruit of levinasian thought.
