JIMENEZ MORALES, Luis Alberto. Elemental evil from a phenomenological politics in Emmanuel Levinas. En-clav. pen [online]. 2022, vol.16, n.32, e533. Epub 26-Sep-2022. ISSN 2594-1100. https://doi.org/10.46530/ecdp.v0i32.533.
Emmanuel Levinas in a brief text from 1934 entitled Some Reflections on the Philosophy of Hitlerism analyzes the possibility of elemental evil from a phenomenological interpretation. He considers that Hitlerism is an awakening of elementary feelings, feelings are an intersection of specific intentional acts. Thus, the philosophy of Hitlerism would be an expression of the modes of being-there-in-the-world, it is a mode of existence. Elemental evil establishes a relationship in which the subject is chained to himself. In later writings elemental evil seems to be linked with a complex development of Western metaphysics. This article intends to study how Levinasian phenomenological criticism is capable of suspending elemental evil, trying to dismantle Western politics through the foundation of a phenomenological politics that conceives another relationship.
