FAILURE OF MORALITY

Abstract

The principal thesis of this article is to see Levinas’ philosophy as an attempt to protest against the goodness of health and the undiscussable value of selfcontrol and the notions associated with it – freedom, heroism, and resoluteness. It’s based on the analysis of principle ethical and philosophical conceptions such as Socrates, Kant, Nietzsche and Heidegger.
