Summary: The thesis of the book analyzes in detail Immanuel Lévinas Totality and Infinity publicadod in 1961 and recognized as one of the two major works of this autor.Lévinas is described as a philosopher which clearly reveals the thoughts of postmodernism: finitude of human subjectivity, rejection of objective knowledge and power and defense of hermenéutica.A once, the argument wants to show that the post Totality and Infinity occupies in the overall development of the thought of Lévinas, and explain the difficulties involved in the movement that led him, 1974-publishing Otherwise or to be beyond the core. The thesis stresses the importance of the connection between Lévinas establishes relations intersubjective and the concepts of metafisica, as a great indicción to understand the difficult relationship between metafisica and hermeneutics, but attempts to show that the arguments offered Lévinas to sustain the character in - objective of our relationship with the Other, leading to really assert the impossibility of completing it overall draft philosophy draft that he had defined, and partly in 1935, as an avoidance or abandonment of the priority of being and logos that dominating the western philosophy.

Summary: This paper tries to respond to these questions: Do you is compatible rationality of western philosophy with racionabilidad enclosing the myth in Africa?  how far is it legitimate to think of the existence of an African philosophy? Do you think it is possible to the ideal of a universal philosophical knowledge, intersubjectively, regardless of the rationale behind the myth in Africa? As the myth in Africa has a kind of response to the great human questions, what logical reason  wraps that myth and African culture, which was privatized by the myth?  What complementary approaches are in the myth of rationality? The study addresses the flexibility, creativity and complexity that the mythical story holds in African culture. This, in the service of strong statement that the man, society and nature are a reality and acting on the total particular issues: a specific philosophy, theology, or a scientific theory. For us Westerners, before an event, "we want to see clear." And the method we use to see clearly does not attempt to approach the subject but rather taking distances and using intermediaries. However, the paradigm does not deal with African unclear but like, ie it is necessary to match the reality, gustarla. The important thing is to feel it, reaching out, making it taste sweet or bitter. It is the challenge of making the sense of taste as a paradigm in which to insert the features of human culture and its manifestations: language, science, politics, ethics and so on. Track this paradigm is a basic requirement of this thesis, which seeks to act in the exercise of taste, even if they are conditioned by our culture.
