Abstract
Adresses the development of public food policies in Brazil with the fundamental and personality right to food, considering national food insecurity with the pandemic context from the movie “The Plataform”. The question that constitutes the research's guiding problem is raised: from the concept of alterity by Emmanuel Lévinas, which ethical critique can be elaborated in face of food insecurity? The hypothesis is that caring for the Other takes a back seat to the Self, debatehindering the development of an alteristic society. The objective is to intertwine the Levinasian philosophy with the right to food and democracy to build a critique of an ethical dimension to the increase in food insecurity. Specifically, it seeks to: a) to analyze Brazilian food policies and the right to food; and b) to develop a Levinasian ethical critique of the found scenario. The methodology used is levinasian metaphenomenological, in order to investigate the representation of the phenomenon of hunger and the Other in the subjective awareness of the Self. The results found show that alterity is a condition of possibility for an ethical society.
