Özet:

 Levinas philosophy centers on the existence of the other and ethical responsibility. According to Levinas, ethics is the first philosophy and human existence is shaped by intersubjective relations. The other, as a necessary being that reveals the ontological determination of the self, plays a critical role in the process of making sense of the individuals existence. This is not only an individual ethical responsibility, but one of the basic building blocks of human existence. In the modern age of communication, anonymity and distance in communication with the other may lead to the disregard of ethical responsibility. Levinass philosophy, however, emphasizes that encounters with the other are not only a transfer of knowledge but also a process of ethical responsibility. Levinas phenomenological method functions not only as a research tool but also as a way of doing philosophy. While phenomenology offers a method for experiencing and understanding the existence of the other, for Levinas it is a way of exploring existence and ethical responsibility in depth. For Levinas, phenomenology is used to reveal the ontological depth of the relationship with the face of the other, and this encounter involves much more than a mere exchange of information. The aim of this study is to analyze Levinas philosophical perspective from the perspective of communication ethics and to gain a deeper understanding of the role of the presence of the other in shaping human existence. By examining otherness and ethical responsibility, the study aims to show how Levinas phenomenological approach offers ideas on how individual responsibility in communication can be reshaped.

 Levinasın felsefesi, ötekinin varlığını ve etik sorumluluğu merkeze alır. Levinasa göre, etik ilk felsefedir ve insan varoluşu, öznelerarası ilişkilerde şekillenir. Öteki, benin ontolojik belirlenimini ortaya koyan zorunlu bir varlık olarak, bireyin varoluşunu anlamlandırma surecinde kritik bir rol oynar. Bu, yalnızca bireysel bir etik sorumluluk değil, insan varoluşunun temel yapı taşlarından biridir. Modern iletişim çağında ise ötekiyle kurulan iletişimde, anonimlik ve mesafe, etik sorumluluğun göz ardı edilmesine yol açabilir. Ancak Levinasın felsefesi, öteki ile karşılaşmaların sadece bilgi aktarımı değil, aynı zamanda etik sorumluluk taşıyan bir sureç olduğunu vurgular. Levinasın fenomenolojik yöntemi, sadece bir araştırma aracı değil, aynı zamanda bir felsefe yapma biçimi olarak da işlev görmektedir. Fenomenoloji, ötekinin varlığını deneyimlemek ve anlamak için bir yöntem sunarken, Levinas için bu yöntem, varoluşu ve etik sorumluluğu derinlemesine keşfetmenin bir yoludur. Levinasa göre, fenomenoloji, ötekinin yuzuyle kurulan ilişkinin ontolojik derinliğini ortaya çıkarmak için kullanılır ve bu karşılaşma, yalnızca bilgi alışverişinden çok daha fazlasını içerir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Levinasın felsefi bakışını iletişim etiği perspektifinden analiz etmek ve ötekinin varlığının insan varoluşunu şekillendiren rolunu derinlemesine kavramaktır. Çalışma, ötekilik ve etik sorumluluğu inceleyerek, Levinasın fenomenolojik yaklaşımının iletişimde bireysel sorumluluğun nasıl yeniden şekillendirilebileceğine dair fikirler sunduğunu göstermeyi hedeflemektedir.
