Abstract
AGUIRRE, Juan Carlos and JARAMILLO, Luis Guillermo. IN PLACE OF OTHER: ETHICAL AND EPISTEMOLOGICAL POSSIBILITIES TO THE HUMAN SCIENCES. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2013, vol.16, n.2, pp.535-542. ISSN 0123-4226.
This article is aimed to confront the ethical proposal of the philosopher Emmanuel Levinas with some conceptions about it in the framework of Human Sciences, especially in the Psychology, in order to determine their epistemological contributions. The dissertation is focused in the concept of substitution (for-the-other). Firstly, it shows what the author understands as substitution; secondly, it analyzes the approach of the Psychology for the other, exposed by George Kunz. Finally, it reviews critically that approach and it describes contributions that Levinas' Ethic would offer to the epistemological foundation of Human Sciences.
Keywords : Other; phenomenological psychology; response; social and human sciences; substitution.
