Genesi del senso, epoché e riduzione. La relazione tra manifestatività e alterità in Husserl e Levinas

The article analyzes the issue of the genesis of meaning, revising first of all the Husserlian theme of epoché and reduction. Secondly, the philosophical perspective of Emmanuel Levinas is addressed, in which the significance of the other does not derive from the costitutive activity of consciousness, but is revealed in the proximity. Finally, we focus on the Levinasian reappropriation of the theme of reduction.
