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.

Senegal

Hoi allemaal,

Tot 16 februari ben ik in Senegal en zal ik waarschijnlijk niet bloggen. Maar ik post wel af en toe op de Senegalblog: http://senegalproject2008.blogspot.com

Groetjes,

Esther
