Levinas and the anarchy of the Good Readings of “Humanism of the Other Man”
Published in 1972, Humanism of the Other Man corresponds to the period of full maturity of Levinas’ thought, after the breakthrough of Totality and Infinity. It consists in three papers: “Significance and Meaning” (1964), “Humanism and Anarchy” (1968) and “Without Identity” (1970). In them, Levinas affirms his desire to reclaim humanism, against the general trend of French philosophy, but in full knowledge of the difficulties that this would involve. He promotes a “new humanism”, a new conception of culture and meaning, of time and subjectivity.

Rhetoric and forms in European culture
From tradition to contemporary challenges
Les études culturelles constituent aujourd’hui l’un des domaines privilégiés d’étude et d’actualisation de la rhétorique – pris comme phénomène social et langagier, mais aussi comme outil culturel destiné à l’exercice de la liberté en démocratie. Au seuil des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles, une rupture épistémique s’est produite en Europe entraînant le progressif abandon de l’arrière-plan rhétorique qui avait prévalu jusqu’alors. L’analyse de l’actualité récente témoigne, à bien des égards, d’une tendance constante à minimiser ou à occulter les conséquences d’un tel abandon. Ces conséquences ont trait aux moyens – discursifs notamment – dont nous disposons pour s’orienter et pour décider dans un monde flou, incertain, précaire, en mobilisant les ressources de la raison pratique...
