The saying of Ethics and the said of Ontology: an levinasian approach

In this article is intended to articulate the notions of ethics and politics to the notions of the Saying and the Said, in a very subtle perspective presented by Emmanuel Levinas, to demonstrate how the human's meaning begins in the ethics e necessarily addresses to the politics, since, to this author, the philosophy must point to the social fact. This articulation is possible through the notion of justice present in two moments of human life: the initial moment of the front to front of the Me and the Other, or ethics, and the moment when the plurality becomes real because of the presence of the Third, or politics. The levinasian concern is not only to affirm the ethics primacy regarding politics, with respect to the order of the happening, but also to demonstrate that the presence of the original Saying of the front to front, which appear as a demanding of justifications to an absolute Me, must subsist in the politics relation, when its institutional impostor from the Law and the State tend to absolutize itselves in relation to the justice demands. Therefore, the Said of the Law is under the auspices from a new Saying that can deprives the reasonability of that, exactly because of the presence of Thirds, different and not included in the legal order. The political-legal order, that in its delay has ontological features when it does not open itself to the perennial Saying, can become a violent order, as the order that preponderates in the war phenomenon. The human meaning, to Levinas, is present in the demarche of the dual relation of the front to front to de multiplicity of the political relations grounded on the notion of justice as demanding of justifications for the actions.
