The idea of God in Emmanuel Levinas' thought

Resumen

This essay deals with one aspect of Emmanuel Levinas' oeuvre: his ideas on God. For Levinas the divine should not be thought from the point of view of ontology. According to him, this way of thinking is the root of all Western Theology. Ethics is the true source of transcendence. Another aspect of Levinas' oeuvre approached by this essay is the connection between Levinas' thought and traditional and modern Jewish thought.
