Jacques Derrida explores the ramifications of what we owe to others.
Hospitality reproduces a two-year seminar series delivered by Jacques
Derrida at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales in Paris
between 1995 and 1997. In these lectures, Derrida asks a series of
related questions about responsibility and “the foreigner”: How do
we welcome or turn away the foreigner? What does the idea of the
foreigner reveal about kinship and the state, particularly in relation
to friendship, citizenship, migration, asylum, assimilation, and
xenophobia? Central to his project is a rigorous distinction between
conventional, finite hospitality, with its many conditions, and the
aspirational idea of hospitality as something offered unconditionally
to the stranger. This volume collects the second year of the seminar,
which considers an Islamic problematic of hospitality, the relevance
of forgiveness, and the work of Emmanuel Levinas.
