Features: In dialogue with his contemporaries, the philosophers Heidegger, Bloch, and traditional thinkers such as Aristotle, Hegel, and particularly Kant, Lévinas developed and deepened the exploration of the relationship between death and time: considering time from the perspective of death, rather than inscribing death onto the web of time. Subsequently, he subverts Heidegger's judgment: if philosophy initially confuses God with existence, it is not because the latter is forgotten, but primarily because the former is obscured. Therefore, the task of thought is to liberate God from the influence of onto-theology.
