Do indexicalismo ao realismo espectral
Indexicalismo na prancheta:
Como fazer justiça ao exterior, ao outro enquanto outro, ao fora sem incluí-lo em uma totalidade no limite construída soberanamente sem espaço para um aporte de alhures a não ser enquanto notícia a ser incorporada?
Pode a exterioridade levinasiana responder ao problema do correlacionismo?
