Abstract

According to Levinas, philosophy does not originate from wonder, but from a “hunger of the other”. Levinas endeavor is to conceptualize an origin in which ethics plays the role of “first philosophy”. This will bring about a profound change: philosophy not as “the love of wisdom” but as “the wisdom of love”, a form of responsibility towards each other. To claim that philosophy originates in the “hunger of the other” leads to emphasize Justice rather than Truth.
