Keywords: E. Lévinas; origin; view; light; phenomenology;
Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on some pages of “Totality and Infinity” in which E. Lévinas discusses about the subtle relation between the light and the view. The light is the medium that makes possible the encounter between the view and the objects, showing them in the existence as images. But only in the opening of this perspective the being is able to manifest itself, issued from its origin. It appears and gives itself to the view and, in the same time, to the understanding. It is the invisible that comes to the visibility, retreating itself in the image.
