Emmanuel Lévinas’ Transcendental Ethics as a Support for Liberation Theologian Gustavo Gutiérrez in the Promotion of Solidarity with the Poor
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This thesis demonstrates how the transcendental ethics of Emmanuel Lévinas can deepen our understanding of what Gustavo Gutiérrez describes as solidarity with the poor. The first chapter explores Gutiérrez's approach to solidarity with the poor as a way of responding to God's gracious love and participating in the transformation of the lives of the poor. The second chapter presents Lévinas's transcendental ethics and his position by putting ethics as the first philosophy. Lévinas focuses on the face of the other, which calls forth and commands the "I". The third chapter draws on Alain Mayama`s work, which engages Lévinas in a dialogue with liberation theologians. This chapter compares Gutiérrez's and Lévinas's thoughts on the authority of those who suffer, and their respective positions on solidarity with the poor. The thesis concludes with an invitation to promote solidarity with the poor as a contribution to the realization of the Kingdom of God.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
