Abstract

L'articolo ricostruisce il percorso attraverso cui Lévinas giunge alla fondazione di un'etica eteronoma, sul cui sfondo trova spazio l'obbedienza al diritto, quale garanzia della libertà contro la tirannide. La parte costruttiva del discorso fa seguito alla critica della filosofia occidentale - vista in parallelo con la tirannide - e alla demolizione del principio kantiano dell'autonomia, la cui etica non ha retto all'esperienza novecentesca del totalitarismo.The article shows how Lévinas went so far as to found a heteronomous ethics, against which obedience to the law emerges as a guarantee of freedom in opposition to tyranny. The constructive part of his discourse presupposes the criticism of western philosophy - seen as akin to tyranny - and the demolition of Kant's principle of autonomy, whose ethics couldn't stand the experience of twentieth century totalitarianism
