MARTINEZ GARCIA, Hugo. An Infinite Subjectivity: Towards a Teleological Understanding of Consciousness from Levinasian Phenomenology. Diánoia [online]. 2020, vol.65, n.84, pp.135-166. Epub 09-Dez-2020. ISSN 0185-2450. https://doi.org/10.22201/iifs.18704913e.2020.84.1559.
The present paper proposes a teleological interpretation of conscious life based on the phenomenology of Emmanuel Levinas. However, since Husserlian phenomenology serves always as a background for Levinas’s position, I offer a reading in which both views complement each other. First I lay out a scheme in which the totality of consciousness is realized as teleological and then I explain the predominant role played by synthesis in the constitution processes in order to develop the elements of a levinasian ethics culminating in a teleological reading of conscious life. Thus, the infinity with which Levinas describes the ethical encounter ceases to be only an instance of an ethical-ontological dimension to describe a teleological moment as well.
