Abstract

The urgency of this research is to build cosmopolitan solidarity using a philosophical perspective. This article presents Emmanuel Levinas' philosophy of the face in examining the character of the Good Samaritan and then using it as a principle in building cosmopolitan solidarity. The research method used is a literature review. Emmanuel Levinas initiated a new philosophy, a philosophy for the Other. According to Levinas, the Other is a face that reveals “the infinite” so that it cannot be reduced to any category. He cannot be defined or conceptualized. When faced with the Other, we are required to respond and take responsibility absolutely. In the biblical context, responsibility towards the Other is exemplified by the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37. The results of the study show that cosmopolitan solidarity can be built on the principle of the philosophy of alterity. The figure of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37 reflects the essence of responsibility for the presence of the Other as a form of cosmopolitan solidarity.
