This is the stupidest take on hospitality I've ever seen. This person needs to be beaten over the head with a copy of Derrida's "On Hospitality" until they become unconscious or learn something, whichever happens first.
That's the Derrida book I think about the most. Unironically a great read
It has informed so much of what I do, working with food and conviviality. I come back to it every now and then, and it's still fresh.
It is a source for one of my favorite ethical essays, too.
Have you read Levinas? Derrida's later stuff takes a lot of inspiration from his ideas about ethics and justice
I have, based on what Derrida referenced on his writings on hospitality and his Adieu to Emmanuel Levinas, but I haven't gone in detail on it.
If you're interested in seeing a food-related take to ethics as hospitality, I really recommend the essay "Ethics is Hospitality" by Raymond Boisvert and Lisa Heldke, too.
Time and the Other is a banger. He wrote most of it in a German POW camp
I'll check that essay out, thanks!
Downloading the book right now! Thanks!
The whole book "Philosophers at table" (where the essay is from) is really good, if you've ever felt the need to overthink food like I do daily lol.
I really love Of God Who Comes to Mind.
Good selection of essays in that one.
Oh cool, I haven't read that one
