Abstract

The aim of this paper is to offer a critical appraisal of Jacques Derrida's notion of hospitality. This critical appraisal begins by presenting the logic of this notion of hospitality, which is conditioned by the relationship between two terms in the form of an absolute antinomy or aporia. On the one hand, the law of "real" or "absolute" hospitality demands the unconditional reception of the foreigner. On the other hand, there are the conditional laws of hospitality which, while they translate the unconditional law into a reciprocal right to receive and a duty to offer hospitality, simultaneously impose conditions on it. The relationship between these two elements is then seen to determine the boundaries of a decision to offer hospitality. It is these boundaries, and the possibility of this decision, which are then seen to raise difficulties for a consistently responsible offer of hospitality.
