Levinas on Buber (Part One)
Listen now
Description
We read the first pages of Emmanuel Levinas' 1958 article, "Martin Buber and the Theory of Knowledge."
In these initial sections, subtitled "The Problem of Truth" and "From the Object to Being," he's recounting how Heideggerian phenomenology argued that being (including our unarticulated awareness of being) is more fundamental than knowledge (a verbalized, objectifying attitude toward the world attributed to a tradition initiated by Descartes).
Read along with us, starting on p. 60 (PDF p. 66).
For more about Levinas, you can listen to PEL eps. 145 and 146, plus ep. 71 on Buber.
