Moral Life Approach in the Philosophy of Immanuel Levinas

Immanuel Levinas is considered one of the most important philosophers of the new age. The importance of his philosophy is more apparent in the field of ethics. Levinas's moral philosophy revolves around the "other". In the structure of Levinas's moral philosophy, one central subject is out of priority and another is given priority. For Levinas, the other is not a passive person, but an active person whose face indicates messages and moral commands, and the subject, by receiving these messages and moral commands, feels the duty to be accountable and responsible to the other. to know The continuity of this accountability and responsibility leads to a moral life. But the problem is that the approach to moral life in the structure of Levinas's moral philosophy is based on what basis? And in other words; What are the components of a moral life in the structure of Levinas's moral philosophy? Levinas believes that the subject finds an inner desire and pull towards the other when facing another's face. This internal desire and tension towards the other, which originates from the subject's desire for infinity and perfection, is a fundamental and metaphysical desire and leads to the subject's moral relationship and interaction with the other and ultimately to moral life. Within the moral life, the subject finds his true identity, which is a moral identity, and by cultivating his moral talents, he steps on the path of becoming infinite and achieving perfection.
