UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AS A BASIS FOR ALTERITY ETHICS: A CHRISTIAN HERMENEUTIC IN DIALOGUE WHITH THE LÉVINAS THOUGHTS, IN SEARCH OF AN INCLUSIVE SOCIETY / O AMOR INCONDICIONAL COMO BASE PARA A ÉTICA DA ALTERIDADE: UMA HERMENÊUTICA CRISTÃ EM DIÁLOGO COM O PENSAMENTO DE LÉVINAS EM BUSCA DE UMA SOCIEDADE INCLUSIVA

MARIA CRISTINA SILVA FURTADO

In this dissertation we have attempted to show that prejudice and discrimination; - factors that have bred violence against women, afro descendants and homosexuals, throughout human history -; are brought on by the view of inferiority of this triad. These groups dont meet the ideal anthropological standard for western society, making for the non acknowledgement of their alterity, and a rejection that can lead to murder. We analyze, therefore, through the thoughts of Emmanuel Lévinas, following the theological point of view of Luis Carlos Susin, in which the great difficulty is accepting the different found in the closed subjectivity of being. Finally, we find that, based on Gods unconditional love, - essence of Christianity -, it is possible through the ethics of alterity, to go beyond the being. Each being was assigned by God before coming to be, and because of this, faced with the look from the Other that may not be transformed into the same one, there is the possibility of an explosion of ones conscience encouraging a response to the transcendental vocation, humanizing oneself. In this way, we believe that if we carry out an ample and constant educational evangelization, following Jesus¿ pedagogy, we will have the opportunity to experiment unconditional love as the ethos in relation to alterity, and each person that takes part, may live out Christianity from the Others viewpoint, towards the other and everyone. Only in this manner, will we have an inclusive society, with no distinction between race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.
