Abstract
IDARETA GOLDARACENA, FRANCISCO. The Christian Ontologization of the Transcendence of the Hebrew God According to E. Lévinas. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2013, vol.62, n.152, pp.9-34. ISSN 0120-0062.
ABSTRACT According to Emmanuel Lévinas, Christian theology ontologizes and, therefore, intellectualizes God and the other, adapting them to the cognitive categories of the receiving subject. The article argues that this attempt to Christianize and ontologize Lévinas's philosophical proposal not only devaluates it but also neutralizes and destroys the transcendence of the Hebrew God it proposes. In view of this, the paper analyzes the work of Lévinas, as well as some of the most important texts by various specialists in the field of theology related to Lévinas, using a historicalsystematic method.
