Dans son séminaire « Hostilité/hospitalité » donné en 1995-1996 et en 1996-1997, Jacques Derrida a multiplié les analyses de ce concept énigmatique.

Son analyse de la Genèse l'a conduit à relire la pensée de Levinas, pour proposer ensuite un nouveau déplacement : allant à la rencontre...

"¡Ama a Dios!". ¿Qué significa eso? ¿Acaso un personaje que está afuera, allá, y que me atisba? Eso no puede significar, sino que aceptes y vivas tu verdad, que te aceptes íntegramente, con la negación que conlleva tu afirmación, como lleva germen destructor todo fruto.

Contemporary philosophy has adopted an increasingly tragic point of view. Tragedy, though, is only a partial truth of the human condition. Comedy is another partial truth. The nature of human existence is neither wholly the one nor the other, but tragi-comic. Philosophy must be attuned to both despair and laughter if it is to understand its own world.
In Making Philosophy Laugh, the philosopher Dustin Peone makes an apology for the comic side of...

Nowadays such debates appear especially volatile, both in popular culture and intellectual discourse: although there is increasing agreement that the moral and political criteria invoked in human rights documents possess cross-cultural force, many modern and postmodern developments erode confidence in moral appeals that go beyond a local consensus or apply...

Suffering is an inescapable part of the human condition-which leads to a question that has proved just as inescapable throughout the centuries: Why? Why do we suffer? Why do people die young? Is there any point to our pain, physical or emotional? Do horrors like hurricanes have meaning?
In Seven Ways of Looking at Pointless Suffering, Scott Samuelson tackles...
