Gubman, B. L. Finiteness of Human Existence as a Problem in Emmanuel Levinas’ and Jacques Derrida’s Philosophy
Abstract:
The problem of finiteness of human existence was deeply considered by Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida
who became interested in this sphere during the last period of development of his philosophy. Levinas assumed that in the
face of Infinity human can actually go beyond the course of history due to his inner feeling of time and parental qualities.
Derrida was greatly influenced by Levinas’ ideas but at the same time he interpreted the problem of finality of human from
the point of view of his grammatology. He spoke that human was constantly striving for survival which expressed itself at
an existential level, in leaving traces and a constant dialogue with a cultural tradition.
Keywords:
philosophy, Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida, existence, being, finite, infinite, human, culture, religion.
