Abstract
This article explores Emmanuel Levinas's political thought through his ethics of the face and its relation to the concept of alienation developed by Guy Debord. It analyzes how alienation, rather than being merely a state of loss, becomes a means of ethical self-discovery and openness toward the other. From this perspective, a connection is established between Levinas's ethics and Debord's critique of capitalism and dehumanization, integrating the shared historical context of both authors. The study concludes that Levinas's ethics is not only an individual response but also a proposal for social and political transformation grounded in alterity. This work offers a novel perspective by linking these authors around responsibility and social justice.
