Il prossimo come te stesso. Identità, significazione e etica dello spazio globale dalla debolezza del “noi”

THE OTHER AS YOURSELF: IDENTITY, SIGNIFICATION, AND THE ETHICS OF GLOBAL SPACE FROM THE FRAGILITY OF THE “WE” In this analysis, conscious thought is indicated as the place in which the sense of global spaces can be created, based on two categories of union: vision and epiphany. The vision concerns the subject’s possibility of internalizing the world; epiphany, however, allows us to think of consciousness not in the usual way, as the center of the person, but rather as a personality recollected to the center. The reversal of perspective would highlight the authentic unity of subjectivity, not split into a source, in which the meaning of things is produced, and how things themselves are, but immersed in the totality of the world (global space). Starting from the irreducibility of otherness, understood as a presence aroused by an original "yes" (F. Rosenzweig), we arrive at the principle of subjectivity in dialogue, which creates the unity of meaning of the world and of consciousness (M. Buber). In this sense, the Jewish-Christian commandment "You will love your neighbor as yourself" (Lev 19, 18 - Mk 12, 31) does not seem to be interpretable as a tension towards the other to be realized on the track of identity, but rather as a departure from the fact of the relationship to finally arrive at the experience of subjectivity and otherness. This reversal would achieve two things: the re- signification of contact spaces (including problematic ones, such as social media or the suspicious areas of the technical and consumer society) and an authentically founded responsibility, the deployment of which modifies and broadens the horizon of the world. From here it seems possible to indicate ethical philosophy as a crossroads to achieve this aim.
