ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to understands the anarchy of God in the thought of Levinas that come form the Hebrew's world view. After the advent of the post-modern era of Western culture, Levinas wants to explain this contemporary with the spirit of Hebrew. And he tried to solve the violence of totality. Where the originality of Levinas's interpretation of the biblical passages do not rule out a variety of information. He is an distinction of ontological theology thought "Spoken differently, God". This innovation opened a door to the theology that would not be themed speech about God, but a testimonial hermeneutics of speech preserving the anarchy of transcendence in the ethical responsibility of the subject. Also, the Jewish tradition constantly underlines the importance of the responsibility for the other and the feeling that one has to be liable for what one does or does not do. It stresses the impossibility of forsaking one's neighbor. Ethics has responsibility pre-anteriority for the orther. In other words, responsibility is an obsession that come from a past that a man does not remember. It describes the situation of a man facing another man. Responsibility in obsession is a responsibility of the ego for what the ego has not wished, that is for the others. Here, man is not only responsible for himself but also for his acts before others, he is responsible for others in such a way that he loses his innocence when he looks at them. He really becomes human when he is ready to answer, "Here I am" to the call of the other. "Here I am" is also the beginning of humanity, since humanity begins in the alertness of mind that helps man understand that the calling is indeed. The theological relation leads directly to the ethics of relations with another person. This is clearest message that God's love for us commands us to love our neighbor. We have to the infinite responsibility and it commits us to approach the one nearest us, the neighbor. Through good influence of responsibility, we can make our world as Christian community like the idea of ​​the Jewish community.
