Since the epistemological turn of philosophy,philosophers began to discuss the certainty of knowledge.The epistemological turn culminated in Kant,who argued that philosophy needed a science to define the possibilities,principles,and scope of all innate knowledge.In his critique of pure reason,he pointed out that the illusion of transcendental knowledge beyond experience should be avoided and the exploration of knowledge points should be limited to the realm of phenomena.However,"god" is only the existence of an idea,and the clarification or interpretation of the concept is futile and should be discarded.Classical phenomenology holds that science and speculation in the empirical world should be excluded one by one,including the "god",and replaced by the re-establishment of the first philosophy--phenomenology.However,after the development of the phenomenology movement in France,a new situation appeared in the field of French phenomenology--the religious turn of French philosophy.The "god" has once again returned to the field of phenomenology.The phenomenology of levinas' theological language was formed in this context.However,the conflict between the new phenomenology of "god" and the classical phenomenology excluding "god" is obvious.Does the so-called new phenomenology still belong to the scope of phenomenology?In the face of this question,levinas gave his own answer in his phenomenology: he believed that this was caused by the improper restriction of phenomenology by traditional phenomenologists,which led to the arbitrary exclusion of certain sensory experiences of "god" by people in their lives as "transcendental things" in classical phenomenology.He cut in from the perspective of the life individual of sensibility,and made a phenomenological reduction of "face",so as to be the original presentation way of "the other" to "me".Facing the "face" of the other,"the self" was forced to assume the responsibility for the other.In the perception of the absoluteness and infinity of responsibility,the concept of infinity comes into the human mind,and the concept of god is the only way to effectively express our perception of infinity.Levinas reintroduced the concept of "god" into phenomenology,giving it a legal status.This paper is concerned with how to put in levinas in his phenomenology "god" introduction to and his theological language of the legitimacy of phenomenology,recognize the phenomenology after the reduction of the meaning of "god" of the return,understand the phenomenology of spirit and method of traditional levinas phenomenology of the possibility of a breakthrough,expand and deepen.
