• Resumen

  • From the Principle of Sufficient Reason to the Justification of the Existent. The Displacement of the Fundamental Question of Metaphysics in Emmanuel Levinas. In Levinas’ philosophical works it’s possible to find a radical rewriting of the metaphysical question and a new definition of the relationship between metaphysics and ontology. Levinas gives a phenomenological reading of the fundamental question of metaphysics through a passage from the idea of ontological difference to the concepts of separation and creation. In this way, metaphysics is associated with transcendence and otherness; ethics is thought of as first philosophy: the metaphysical question is not “to be or not to be”, but the problem of evil and the justification of the existent.
