LEVINAS'S PRONOUNS: A NOTE ON GENDERED LANGUAGE AND THEMATIZATION.
In this article, I argue that some of the unique features of Emmanuel Levinas's philosophy are helpful for providing some resources for considering the generalized use of the singular "they," with some caveats. In particular, Levinas's emphasis on the singularity of the Other and the thematizations...

In particular, Levinas's emphasis on the singularity of the Other and the thematizations necessary to make adjudications within politics can be mapped onto the first- and second-person forms on the one hand, and the third-person form on the other. The possibility of using a gender-neutral pronoun in the third-person form arises as a way of reducing unnecessary thematizations of the Other, at least in English. Dans cet article, je soutiens que certaines des caractéristiques uniques de la philosophie d'Emmanuel Levinas sont utiles pour fournir des ressources permettant de considérer l'utilisation généralisée du singulier « they » en langue anglaise, avec quelques réserves. En particulier, l'accent mis par Levinas sur la singularité d'Autrui et les thématisations nécessaires pour prendre des décisions politiques peuvent être transposées à la première et à la deuxième personne, d'une part, et à la troisième personne, d'autre part. La possibilité d'utiliser un pronom neutre à la troisième personne apparaît comme un moyen de réduire les thématisations inutiles d'Autrui, au moins en anglais. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Symposium: Canadian Journal of Continental Philosophy / Revue Canadienne de Philosophie Continentale is the property of Canadian Society for Continental Philosophy and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
