Abstract:

 This article explores Jacques Derrida’s thought on “hospitality” through the lens of aporia, the ethical unconditional, and the political conditional. The author also draws on Levinas’s notion of substitution to deepen the reading of Louis Massignon’s work, which attempts to establish a particular ethics of hospitality. The article then examines Derrida’s concrete political proposals—such as cities of refuge, shared sovereignty, and the democracy to come—as attempts to inhabit aporia rather than resolve it. Finally, the article offers an original reading of this paradox through the concept of complexio oppositorum, which allows us to consider the symbolic presence of the unconditional in all conditioned action, without denying the persistence of aporia.
