Description: Jacques Derrida explores the ramifications of what we owe to others. Hospitality reproduces a two - year seminar series delivered by Jacques Derrida at the cole des hautes tudes 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? Derrida approaches these questions through readings of several classical texts as well as modern texts by Heidegger Arendt Camus and others. 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 first year of the seminar.
