Ethical Hermeneutics: Rationality in Enrique Dussel's Philosophy of Liberation

Front Cover
Fordham University Press, 1998 - Philosophy - 184 pages
The essence of Dussel's thought is presented through the concept of "ethical hermeneutics" which seeks to interpret reality from the viewpoint of what Emmanuel Levinas presents as the "other" - those who are vanquished, forgotten, or excluded from existent socio-political or cultural systems. Barber traces Dussel's development toward Levinas' philosophy through his discussion of the Hegelian dialectic and through the stages of Dussel's own ethical theory.
