International Levinas Conference

International Levinas Conference, June 17-19, 2026, Vytautas Magnus University, Kaunas, Lithuania
Emmanuel Levinas’s philosophical reflections on home, exile, dwelling, and displacement remain central to contemporary ethical, political, and phenomenological inquiry. These themes resonate with questions of identity, hospitality, migration, and responsibility – issues that continue to shape our global and local landscapes.

In June 2026, scholars gather in Kaunas, Lithuania, the birthplace of Levinas, for a three‑day conference dedicated to exploring these themes from diverse methodological, historical, and interdisciplinary perspectives. The conference aims to provide a platform for Levinas scholars – both established and emerging – to engage deeply with his thought and its contemporary relevance.   Scholars from all backgrounds and disciplines are welcome to attend and participate!   For further information on the venue and programme: International Levinas Conference    If you would like to attend/find out more, please contact: [email protected]  [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]   We hope to see you there!
