GARRIDO-MATURANO, Ángel E.. LA INTRUSIÓN DEL ESTAR. ANÁLISIS HERMENÉUTICO DE LA SIGNIFICACIÓN DEL ESPACIO PARA LA NOCIÓN LEVINASIANA DE INSTANTE. Eidos [online]. 2017, n.27, pp.224-249. ISSN 1692-8857.

This article attempts a hermeneutical and critical analysis of the notion of instant as a self-assertion of the ego in the early Lévinas and as a diachronic relation to the Other in the later works. First, it elucidates the essential significance of space in the constitution of the instant. Secondly, it explains why the spatiality of phenomena implies the relationship with alterity as a condition of any form of instant, including the instant of self-assertion of the ego. Finally, it analyzes the transition from the instant of identification of the ego to the instant that results from the ethical assignation of the Other as a consequence of an inversion of the spatiality of phenomena.

Keywords : Lévinas; instant; time; space; the ego; the Other.
