Habermas y Levinas: hacia el diálogo desde dos niveles

Abstract

These are the conclusions of an investigation prompted by the need to create conditions for the dialogue in societies with defective democracies. I suggest a reading of Habermas’s discourse ethics from the criticisms of Emmanuel Levinas’s Philosophy of Totality and from there, i propose a series of contributions, even complementary, among the authors. The dialogue is possible, but involves considerations of other levels of analysis that are not addressed, in principle, in the theory of Jürgen Habermas.
