The purpose of this reflection was to investigate whether a “language of education” is possible in the Distance learning modalities, more specifically if, in Distance learning, it is possible to create conditions for the responsible response to the call of the Other, for ethical dialog, and if possibilities for the subject to be constituted as a being beyond what was modeled to be, for transcendence are offered. Based on a bibliographic research, especially on Levinas and Gur-Ze’ev’s works, it was sought to develop a “language of education” that does not limit the educational relationship to the “language of learning”. It was concluded that Distance learning does not offer conditions for transcendental Eros, for the encounter of the ethical self with the Other, and it also creates barriers that prevent this encounter and imprison the “subject” in his/her network of pleasures and self-satisfaction.
Keywords: Distance learning. Language of learning. Language of education. Ethics of responsibility. Transcendental Eros.
