Abstract

In this article I examine the ethical concept of responsibility as presented by Emmanuel Levinas and Karol Wojtyła. I focus throughout on questions pertaining to the relations between identity and alterity and between heteronomy and autonomy. To do so involves looking at the contrary roles that these two authors give to selfhood and freedom when accounting for our sense of obligation and responsibility toward others and toward ourselves. I then put Levinas’s phenomenological account of responsibility into dialogue with Wojtyła’s personalist account in an examination of the question of animal ethics. Specifically, I discuss the extent to which their ideas on our responsibilities toward others can be extended to the domain of non-human animals.
Levinas和Wojtyła的伦理责任观
在这篇文章中,我考察了伊曼纽尔·列维纳斯和卡罗尔Wojtyła提出的责任的伦理概念。我的重点贯穿于与同一性和替代性以及他律和自主性之间的关系有关的问题。要做到这一点,需要看看这两位作者在解释我们对他人和对自己的义务和责任感时赋予自我和自由的相反角色。然后,我把列维纳斯对责任的现象学描述与Wojtyła的个人主义描述进行对话,以考察动物伦理问题。具体来说,我讨论了他们关于我们对他人的责任的想法可以扩展到非人类动物领域的程度。

期刊介绍: International Philosophical Quarterly has provided a peer-reviewed forum in English for the international exchange of basic philosophical ideas since 1961. The journal stands in the general tradition of theistic and personalist humanism without further restriction of school or philosophical orientation, and is open to both the philosophical discussion of contemporary issues and historical studies. It is truly international in scope with contributions from authors around the world and circulation to institutions and individuals in 70 countries. IPQ numbers among its Associate Editors scholars from both the Far East and Europe, and the journal enjoys a long-standing relationship with the Facultés Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix in Belgium.
