Marcelo Leonardo Levinas (Buenos Aires, 21 October 1952) is an Argentine academic, writer, photographer, and film producer.[1][2]

Levinas holds degrees in Physics (PhD) and Philosophy (Prof) and is a specialist in the history of science, the philosophy of science, theoretical physics, conceptual change, and the teaching of science.[2] His work is deemed of encyclopaedic relevancy by The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, which considers it to be fruitful on "different aspects of the history of physics at the beginning of [the] twentieth century, particularly regarding Einstein’s works".[3]

He is a retired Professor at the University of Buenos Aires, the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences (FLACSO), and the Autonomous University of Madrid, as well as a researcher for the Argentine National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET).[4] At the University of Buenos Aires, he chaired the Social History of Science and Techniques unit from 1996 to 2022, and was head of the Department of History in 2001–2003.[1]

Levinas is the author of over 50 academic journal articles with a total of over 505 citations,[5] 40 popularisation articles, and 13 academic, literary, and photographic books, including Las Imágenes del Universo, which has undergone 4 editions and was studied for decades by University of Buenos Aires pupils, and the novels El Último Crimen de Colón and El Último Final.[6]
