Although Levinas understood technology as an ethically neutral tool that could even contribute to human liberation, the contemporary development of digital technologies reveals profound changes in both the human lifeworld and in our understanding of the human being. The paper examines three domains where digitalization particularly collides with the core postulates of Levinas’s thought: (1) the emergence of digital “totalitarianism,” which can be interpreted through his critique of ontology and the logic of being; (2) the problem of the anonymous other, manifest in the anonymity of online communication and the rise of artificial intelligence; and (3) the problem of digital disembodiment, whi-ch undermines Levinas’s emphasis on corporeality as the bearer of ethical digni-ty. The article argues that digital technology cannot be regarded as a neutral tool but rather reshapes the very conditions of human coexistence and therefore calls for ethical reflection. Levinas’s ethics, which places the embodied face-to-face relation at its centre, can thus serve as a corrective to the anomalies of the digi-tal age and as a guide for preserving and cultivating genuine humanityPrispevek obravnava izzive, ki jih sodobna digitalna doba odpira za Levinasovo etiko. Čeprav je Levinas tehniko razumel kot etično nevtralno orodje, ki lahko celo prispeva k osvobajanju človeka, sodobni razvoj digitalne tehnologije razkriva globlje spremembe življenjskega sveta in razumevanja človeka samega. V prispevku so analizirana tri področja, kjer digitalizacija ob temeljne postulate Levinasove etike trči posebej izrazito: (1) pojav digitalnega ‚totalitarizma‘, ki ga lahko razumemo ob Levinasovi kritiki ontologije in logike biti; (2) problem anonimnega drugega, ki se razodeva v anonimnosti spletnih komunikacij in v razmahu umetne inteligence; (3) problematika digitalne raztelešenosti, ki spodkopava Levinasov poudarek na telesnosti kot nosilki etičnega dostojanstva. V prispevku je opozorjeno, da digitalna tehnologija ne more biti razumljena kot nevtralno orodje, saj preoblikuje pogoje človeškega sobivanja in zato zahteva etični premislek. Levinasova etika, ki v središče postavlja utelešen od-nos iz obličja v obličje, lahko služi kot korektiv anomalijam digitalne dobe ter kot vodilo za ohranjanje in negovanje pristne človeškostiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Teološka fakulteta
