Levinas and multicultural society

I hope some day I will write a dissertation about Levinas and intercultural contact. I don't have time now, but at least I can express my thoughts on this blog. Levinas says that a relation becomes ethical when I meet another person. The image I create of the other can never coincide with the real person. An individual is unique, he can't be reduced to the (supposed) characteristics of his group. So I should have an open mind for the real person and let go of my prejudices anytime.

India and Heidegger's roots

From 8-24 December I will be on vacation in India, so if this blog will be a bit silent the coming time you know the reason now...

I am bringing "Heidegger's roots: Nietzsche, National Socialism, and the Greeks" with me. I will tell you afterwards what my findings are with regard to Heidegger's enrootment philosophy.
