A Comparative Analysis of Benjamín's Philosophy of Language, Translation and History with Levinas' Ethics

This study aims to clarify how Benjamin's philosophy of language and translation, along with historical awareness are systematically connected to human identity and practical ethics toward the Other by comparing them with Levinas' ethics of the Other. To this end, we will compare and examine the Benjamin's and Levinas' philosophical thinking, focusing on categories such as (1) the subject, the Other, and the language of hospitality, (2) translation-mimesis and acceptance of otherness, (3) pure language and speaking, (4) historical awareness and responsibility for the Other, and we will explore their similarities, differences, and significance. This paper will explore the philosophical perspectives that are integral to the thoughts of the two philosophers and discuss their characteristics.
