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.

Gek is dat toch eigenlijk...

Wat zou ze nou gedacht hebben...

Wat zou ze nou verwacht hebben...

Gek is dat toch eigenlijk

Dat je elke ochtend weer gelooft

Elke ochtend een beetje hoopt

Dat de toekomst aan jou toekomt

Als je straks weer wakker wordt

Maar hij krabbelt aan je voorbij

Als je even niet kijkt

Vooral als je niet grijpt

Wat zo ongrijpbaar

Zo ongrijpbaar dichtbij lijkt

Not long ago, I have thought about something like that, but I did not realize you are so deep, it seems that I need to continuously strengthen the learning!
