Resumo: The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate the criticism that Levinas and Merleau-Ponty address to the neutralizing and totalizing power of thought regarding concrete human subjectivities. Despite the differences between the two philosophers, it is possible to affirm that both defend the following thesis: thought does not hold the secret and the potentialities of language. Meaning: language is the condition of thought, not its servant. While Levinas is more concerned with describing the meaning behind reason’s silence breaking, Merleau-Ponty argues that one’s own voices, which are silenced by reason, must be heard. We emphasize in conclusion that, more than producing silence, reason can be discovered as a form of sensitivity understood as hearing, responsibility and ethical restlessness.

Aunque existe una gran diferencia entre los dos filósofos, es posible decir que ambos defienden la siguiente tesis: el pensamiento no guarda el secreto y el potencial del lenguaje. En otras palabras, el lenguaje es la condición del pensamiento, y no su servidor. También se verá que Levinas está más preocupado por describir el sentido desde el cual se rompe el silencio producido por la razón, mientras que Merleau-Ponty argumenta que es necesario escuchar las mismas voces silenciadas por la razón. Destacamos en conclusión que, más que producir silencio, la razón puede ser descubierta como una forma de sensibilidad entendida como audición, responsabilidad e inquietud ética.O objetivo da exposição é mostrar a crítica que Levinas e Merleau-Ponty dirigem ao poder neutralizante e totalizante do pensamento em relação às subjetividades humanas concretas. Mesmo existindo uma grande diferença entre os dois filósofos, é possível dizer que ambos defendem a seguinte tese: o pensamento não detém o segredo e as potencialidades da linguagem. Ou seja, a linguagem é a condição do pensamento, e não sua serviçal. Ver-se-á também que Levinas se preocupa mais em descrever o sentido a partir do qual o silêncio produzido pela razão é rompido, ao passo que Merleau-Ponty argumenta que é preciso ouvir as próprias vozes silenciadas pela razão. Ressaltamos em conclusão que, mais do que produzir silêncio, a razão pode descobrir-se como uma forma de sensibilidade entendida como audição, responsabilidade e inquietude ética.Associação de Pesquisas em Fenomenologia (APFeno)2020-06-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://phenomenology.com.br/index.php/phe/article/view/27Phenomenology, Humanities and Sciences; Vol. 1 No. 2 (2020): Phenomenology, Humanities and Science; 244-259Phenomenology, Humanities and Sciences; Vol. 1 Núm. 2 (2020): Phenomenology, Humanities and Science; 244-259Phenomenology, Humanities and Sciences; v. 1 n. 2 (2020): Phenomenology, Humanities and Science; 244-2592675-467310.62506/phs.v1i2reponame:Phenomenology, Humanities and Sciencesinstname:Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)instacron:UFPRporenghttps://phenomenology.com.br/index.php/phe/article/view/27/28https://phenomenology.com.br/index.php/phe/article/view/27/29Copyright (c) 2020 Phenomenology, Humanities and Sciencesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFabri, Marcelo2024-04-15T18:26:25Zoai:phenomenology.com.br:article/27Revistahttps://phenomenology.com.br/index.php/phePUBhttps://phenomenology.com.br/index.php/index/oaicontato@phenomenology.com.br || aholanda@yahoo.com2675-46732675-4673opendoar:2024-04-15T18:26:25Phenomenology, Humanities and Sciences - Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)false
