Abstract

This paper aims to show why, according to Levinas, the Bible is fundamental when thinking. He asserts that transcendence has an ethical sense that may be phenomenologically analysed. Levinas' perspective doesn't intend to develop a theological set of concepts, nor is it directly linked with any religious belief. The word "God" only has meaning due to the relationship between human beings, and, as a result, it is possible to think about truth as testimony. That would be a way of philosophically translating the Hebrew wisdom.
