Thanks for your great videos! I think we've assigned each other's videos for our students, probably mine to yours more than the other way around. Q: Did you play fast and loose with the distinction between opposition and complementary classes when you described the relationship between totality and infinity? Where in Levinas do you think he assumes dialectical relationships ("not" of the Hegelian type) rather than complimentary relationships ("non"). It seems to me that logically complimentary relationships evoke infinity more than opposition. I'm guessing you will agree oppositions imply clear categories of identity while complimentary classes are open-ended. BTW, I have a background in phenomenology but more recently have been studying cognitive science. I can't help but translate Levinas into analogically parallel discoveries in neuroscience. It's actually quite remarkable!
Just loving this: believe me! Very informative.. BUT!!! PLEASE, please stop with the fillers!!! "Right?" If I hear another "sort of," or "at the end of the day," or "actually," or "ah," or "right?," or "and so," and especially ~ again, and again, and again: "sort of," "sort of," "sort of." BUT really, this is good stuff, otherwise! "Right?, right?, right?, right?" "Sort of, sort of, sort of, sort: right?, right:, right?"
Great use of Baraka footage! Love that movie
Thank you, Professor!

Which discoveries in neuroscience do you find analogical to Levinas??
Wow this is great!
