Snabb frga: vad betyder ordet "oecumenia"? Har lst ordet flera gnger nu i en engelsk versttning av den franske filosofen Emmanuel Levinas verk Totality and Infinity (Totalit et Infini: essai sur l'extriorit). Hittar ingenting alls nr jag sker p ntet. r det ett engelskt ord? ett franskt versttaren struntat i att verstta? Ordet anvnds exempelvis i detta stycke:
"For the intimacy of recollection to be able to be produced in the oecumenia of being the presence of the Other must not only be revealed in the face which breaks through its own plastic image, but must be revealed, simultaneously with this presence, in its withdrawal and its absence." (s. 155)
Vldigt tacksam fr svar hr.
Hr kan du lsa lite:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecumene
" In present usage, it is used as the noun form of "ecumenical" and describes the Christian Church as a unified whole or the unified modern world civilization."
Levinas kan givetvis anvnda ordet i en annan betydelse (franska intellektuella har ju vana att gra det)... s jag vet inte hur mycket det dr hjlpte dig.
En svensk lnk ocks:
https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekumenik
Edit: jag vet rligt talat inte om det verkligen var det ordet du skte.
Levinas kanske anvnder ordet i sin ursprungliga mening?
"ecumene was an ancient Greek term for the known world, the inhabited world, or the habitable world"
