The focus of this paper is on Enrique Dussel's Liberation Ethics, which emphasizes responsibility towards the other/victim, influenced by Levinas' ideas. Dussel critiques the predominance of freedom in contemporary philosophy, arguing for a shift to ethics as the foundational philosophy. He uniquely conceptualizes the other as materially significant, advocating for a pre-original responsibility that challenges traditional notions of proximity and totality. The work reflects on how philosophy can be committed to liberation, reshaping our understanding of ethical relationships.
