Levinas and multicultural society: I am leaving - goodbye; Wilders will stay

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.

I am leaving - goodbye; Wilders will stay - good luck

Hoe meer ik lees over en hoor van Tariq Ramadan, hoe beter ik hem vind. Laat ik hem hier voor zichzelf laten spreken...

Zie ook het "Manifesto for a New We" dat hij noemt in zijn toespraak.
