Sumario:This article explains the thought of Emmanuel Levinas in his work Humanism of the Other around four key issues: identity, relationship, freedom and transcendence. Opposed to the position of Nietzsche and other modern philosophers about each of these issues, Levinas present a paradoxical solution to these four major anthropological keys that serve as the basis for developing a theory of justice: identity will be understood as vulnerability; the relationship as heteronomy; freedom as diakonia and Work; ethics as the fundamental religious experience.
