CARBONARA, Vanderlei. Humanism of the other man: perspectives of a formation from the sensitivity and the ethics with Emmanuel Levinas. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2020, vol.34, n.70, pp.307-332.  Epub Feb 06, 2022. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v34n70a2020-46884.

The theories of formation reach great expressiveness with the development of the ideals of modern humanism. It is a civilizing project that aims to elevate humanity to its highest degree of perfectibility. The history and philosophy of the twentieth century, however, disallowed the belief in humanism and submitted its foundations to the crisis. This crisis extends to everything that has been built on humanism, including the design of a formation for enlightenment and perfectibility. What is proposed is a reading on the response to the crisis of humanism from the Levinas' philosophy of subjectivity. Thus, the article takes away from the humanist discourse of modernity, and presents a perspective for the formation now oriented by sensitivity and acceptance of others. In a review of the concept of formation, the text turns its attention to an ethic of welcoming to otherness: a humanism of the other man.

Keywords : Formation; Humanism; Sensitivity; Ethic; Emmanuel Levinas.
