• TITLE: Objects, Elements, and Affirmation of the Ethical

  AUTHORS: Matthew Z. Donnelly

  KEYWORDS: Levinas; Mereology; Ethical Phenomenology; Objectivity

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Philosophy, Vol.3 No.2, May 29, 2013

  ABSTRACT: The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that the theory of material objects often referred to as mereological nihilism supports a fine-grained and analytically coherent reading of Emmanuel Levinas’s concept of “elements” as articulated by Levinas primarily in Totality and Infinity. This reading, in turn, allows for a second conclusion, namely the affirmation of the ethical as the possible ground of all other philosophy.
