Levinas e Kant: a study from the autonomy and heteronomy

This study brings together the thought of two great philosophers who are appreciated by the philosophical critique, Levinas and Kant. Being two icons of the history of philosophy, thought is extremely complex and vast. Usually these two great thinkers are mentioned by the similarity of the themes that have developed, or morals, ethics and religion. In this research I will take into account these points in the second time since the first will be focused on subjectivity. I remember that the purpose of this research is not to make a comparative study, but the way philosophers have developed their thoughts on autonomy and heteronomy. Thus, there will some convergent and divergent. The Kantian subject is constituted by an autonomous will. The autonomy of reason can establish themselves and act based on the imperatives. Kant establishes the moral (right) as the foundation for the individual's relationship with God, so that religion and God are contingent upon the autonomy of practical reason why your project, the religion within the bounds of reason. Since Levinas, a Jewish thinker, inspired by Greek philosophy and Talmudic literature maintains that the relationship with the wholly other is based on heteronomy.
