Intersubjectivity and Coping with Absurdity

Eisenbiegler, Grace January 2018 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Jeffrey Bloechl / Per Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, existentialism is the profound truth that the world lacks inherent meaning and thus, we are radically free to choose, to live life as we please. While these assertions are both true and liberating and the theoretical level, these axioms leave individuals disoriented. They never answer the question: how does one live within an absurd world? Thus, these authors never give us a way of coping with the harsh repercussions of absurdity. To answer this question, this project turns to intersubjectivity and the work of Emmanuel Levinas. Levinas’s theory of the other demonstrates that we are not merely beings in a vacuum; the world is conditioned by the interpersonal. Relating to the Other allows us to see that we are not alone in our suffering, for the Other and the individual mutually witness one another. Such connections provide a means of coping with absurdity, allowing us both solidarity and insight into the truly absurd nature of the world. Thus, the application of Levinas’s intersubjectivity to existentialism serves to save Camus’s notion of absurdity from its more nihilistic tendencies, allowing us to accept and apprehend absurdity without falling into despair or ignorance. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2018. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Sentido y Alteridad desde el pensamiento de Emmanuel L?vinas: Un intento arqueol?gico para dar cuenta de la figura de la Alteridad Radical como constituyente de sentido del ?sentido?

Castro Serrano, Francisco de Borja January 2008 (has links)
Tesis para optar al grado de Mag?ster en Filosof?a menci?n en Metaf?sica / [...] Luego de explicitar nuestro sentir con el trabajo que estamos concluyendo, podemos decir que nuestra tesis se instala en una discusi?n actual que a su vez es transversal a la historia de la filosof?a Occidental: lo que constituye el Sentido y la Alteridad. Ahora bien, respecto al primer eje tem?tico, podemos decir ?a modo general- que la pregunta por el sentido circula al ser humano desde que ?ste se concibe como un ente que debe hacerse cargo de s? mismo y de los otros, y a partir de la poca delimitaci?n y trazos de los nuevos caminos emprendidos. En esta l?nea, la pregunta por el sentido es un eje articulante de nuestra tesis y adquiere relevancia en tanto pregunta fundamental del siglo XX. El hombre es un buscador de sentido y constantemente intentamos dar respuesta a esta pregunta, la que no es f?cil, justamente porque, en su radicalidad, es una pregunta que al plantearla nos ubica en el ?afuera absoluto? . Y es aqu? donde nos interesa indagar: ?c?mo nos desenvolvemos en la existencia? ?Qu? forma adquiere el sentido en ese ?afuera absoluto?? Eso que est? afuera de nosotros, ?qu? sentido ha ido adquiriendo en el recorrido filos?fico contempor?neo? Desde esta perspectiva, el sentido comenzamos a interrogarlo dando cuenta de que es algo que nos circula con insistencia, pero que no siempre estamos dispuestos a responder y ni siquiera a preguntar. El sentido es un ?mbito que provoca temor, preferimos definirlo como ?pantallas del sentido? al decir de Holzapfel, como ?buen sentido? al decir de Deleuze, para as? calmar las ansiedades que despierta este afuera que nos interpela, que nos invade y que a la vez, nos sostiene. As?, la cotidianidad nos ordena bajo un cierto ?sentido com?n? que permite un funcionamiento en la sociedad, pero cuando nos atrevemos a preguntar por ese ?afuera absoluto? del sentido, ya estamos interrogando un ?mbito metaf?sico, y este es el lugar que nos interesa ?escuchar?.

Possibilities of "Peace": Lévinas's Ethics, Memory, and Black History in Lawrence Hill's The Book of Negroes

Emode, Ruth 24 April 2013 (has links)
This thesis interrogates how Lawrence Hill’s The Book of Negroes represents histories of violence ethically by utilizing Emmanuel Lévinas’s philosophy of ethics as a methodology for interpretation. Traditional slave narratives like Olaudah Equiano’s autobiography and postmodern neo-slave narratives like Toni Morrison’s Beloved animate the violence endemic to slavery and colonialism in an effort to emphasize struggles in conscience, the incomprehensible atrocities, and strategies of rebellion. However, this project illustrates how The Book of Negroes supplements these literary goals with Hill’s own imagination of how slaves contested the inhumanities thrust upon them. Through his aesthetic choices as a realist, Hill foregrounds the possibilities of pacifism, singular identities, and altruistic agency through his protagonist Aminata Diallo. These three narrative elements constitute Lévinas’s ethical peace, which means displaying a profound sensitivity towards the historical Other whom imperial discourses and traditional representations of catastrophes in Black history might obscure. / Graduate / 0325 / 0328 / 0352 / jaslife12@hotmail.com
