Emmanuel Lévinas nejznámější citáty

„Mít vědomí znamená právě mít čas.“

Emmanuel Lévinas

„Ta stránka bytí, jež se ukazuje ve válce, se soustřeďuje do pojmu totality, jenž ovládá celé západní myšlení. Jednotlivci se tu redukují na nositele sil, jež jim poroučejí bez jejich vědomí. Jedinečnost každé přítomnosti je neustále obětována nějaké budoucnosti, jež z ní má vytěžit objektivní smysl.“

Emmanuel Lévinas

„Násilí nespočívá tolik ve zraňování a ničení, jako v přerušování souvislosti osob, ve vnucování rolí, v nichž se nemohou najít.“

Emmanuel Lévinas

„Povinností přibývá s tím, jak se plní. Čím lépe plním svoji povinnost, tím méně mám práv.“

Emmanuel Lévinas

„Přátelství míří ke druhému, láska hledá to, co nemá strukturu jsoucího, co je nekonečně budoucí, co je teprve třeba zplodit.“

Emmanuel Lévinas

„Krása je zář, jež se šíří bez vědomí zářící bytosti.“

Emmanuel Lévinas

Emmanuel Lévinas: Citáty anglicky

“The peace of empires issued from war rests on war. It does not restore to the alienated beings their lost identity.”

Emmanuel Levinas kniha Totality and Infinity

Kontext: The moral consciousness can sustain the mocking gaze of the political man only if the certitude of peace dominates the evidence of war. Such a certitude is not obtained by a simple play of antitheses. The peace of empires issued from war rests on war. It does not restore to the alienated beings their lost identity. For that a primordial and original relation with being is needed.

Totality and Infinity (1961)

“The transition of the subject-object relation to that of the I-Thou implies a passage of consciousness to a new sphere of existence, viz, the interval, betweenness or Zwichen; and this is a passage from thought to Umfassung.”

“To ignore the true God is in fact only half an evil; atheism is worth more than the piety bestowed on mythical gods.”

A Religion for Adults (1957)

“The comprehension of God taken as a participation in his sacred life, an allegedly direct comprehension, is impossible, because participation is a denial of the divine, and because nothing is more direct than the face to face, which is straightforwardness itself.”

“If every pure character in the Old Testament announces the Messiah, if every unworthy person is his torturer and every woman his Mother, does not the Book of Books lose all life with this obsessive theme?”

On the doctrine of prefiguration.
Persons or Figures (1950)

“The theory of transparency was set up in reaction to the theory of mental images, of an inner tableu which the perception of an object would leave in us. In imagination our gaze always goes outward, but imagination modifies and neutralizes the gaze: the real world appears in it as it were between parenthesis or quote marks.”

“The ego involved in responsibility is me and no one else, me with whom one whould have liked to pair up a sister soul, from whom one would have substitution and sacrifice.”

“The mores I return to myself, the more I divest myself, under the traumatic effect of persecution , of my freedom as a constituted, wilful, imperialistic subject, the more I discover myself to be responsible' the more just I am, the more guilty I am. I am 'in myself' through others.”

“The detour to ideality leads to coinciding with oneself, that is, to certainty, which remains the guide and guarantee of the whole spiritual adventure of being.”

The Levinas reader by Levinas, Emmanuel p. 84

“By asserting the objectivity of the physical world, natuaralism identifies the existence and the conditions of existence of the physical world with existence and the conditions of existence in general. It forgets that the world of the physicist necessarily refers back, through its intrinsic meaning, through the subjective world which one tries to exclude from reality as being pure appearance, conditioned by the empirical nature of man, which is incapable of reaching directly to a world of things in themselves. But while the world of the physicist claims to go beyond naive experience, his world really exists only in relation to naive experience.”
