Abstract

The comparison with the phenomenological method is fundamental in Levinas, as the references, often present in his works, have asserted. Levinas' interpretation of Husserl's thought tries to recover a deeper intentionality which goes beyond the cognitive objectivation. This way Levinas tries to elaborate a phenomenology of transcendency, in contradiction to a phenomenology of immanency, and he does it starting from the original sensibility to approach a metaphysical concept based on the experience of an ethical imperative
