Abstract

This book contains the moving speech given by Derrida at Emmanuel Levinas's funeral in 1995, together with his contribution to the colloquium on the first anniversary of Levinas's death. It constitutes a major philosophical event in which Derrida extends his indebtedness to Levinas in previously unexplored directions via a radical rereading of Totality and Infinity and other lesser-known talmudic readings. Levinas, he argues, bequeaths to us an 'immense treatise of hospitality', and Derrida's identification of an ethics of pure prescription with the idea of an infinite and absolute hospitality brings us close to pressing political, juridicial, and institutional concerns. What is the relationship between an emphatic notion of responsibility and a down-to-earth set of rights and rules, of jurisprudence or justice? Typically, Derrida raises this question in explicit terms, reminding us that no unilinear, hierarchical order of foundation, derivation, or causation regulates the relation between these orders.
