RESEARCH PROJECT 2
In this project we are exploring the relation of existential phenomenology to ethics and post-humanist theory: 
Levinas shifts the source of meaning from the Subject (S) to the object (O). In order to understand how and why he does this we need to understand and delineate the anthropological mistake of which he finds us guilty. We will explore this mistake as well as sketch an account of that which corrects this anthropology and outlines a new basis for ethics. Even though the problem of  motivation is still present the source of ethics is the Other, not the self. Ethics is now seen as an interruption in one's selfish life. Methodology is phenomenological.
