%X this paper presents the thought of emmanuel l¨¦vinas about women and about sex differences to explore what jacques derrida calls the two possibilities of reading l¨¦vinas. the first, androcentric, identifies the traditional hierarchical separation between male and female. the second possibility of reading l¨¦vinas, according to derrida, sees the expansion of the meaning of women into the feminine, amplifying levinas's propositions of feminity as an opening to otherness. l¨¦vinas turns the feminine into a privileged figure of ethics and otherness. derrida will depart from this idea of l¨¦vinas about the feminine to think of unconditional hospitality, radicalizing his view of openness to others.
