Twentieth century French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas describes a God that is wholly human, is always good, and does not exist. Explaining this startling combination of themes, this paper will present Levinas’s novel model of a divinity whose transcendence allows Levinas’s model to either incorporate or sidestep certain modern objections to traditional theology, whose connection to humanity inspires a deeply satisfying view of human and divine nature, and whose exclusively ethical significance promotes peace in a violent world. |
