    Rêver l’Europe. L’Europe – l’arche de Noé de l’avenir? Derrida, l’Europe et l’Hospitalité.Fernanda Bernardo - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1473-1508.
    At his last conference in France, on 8 June 2004, in Strasbourg, under the title “Le souverain bien – ou l’Europe en mal de souveraineté”, Jacques Derrida (1930-2004), always very concerned about Europe and about the future of Europe, dared to admit that he dreamed, without the slightest Eurocentrism or identitarianism, of “a Europe whose universal hospitality and new laws of hospitality or the right of asylum would make it the Noah’s Ark of the 21st century” – since the Bible (...)

    La philosophie comme hospitalité.Alain Cugno - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1205-1218.
    Philosophy is a paradoxical form of knowledge, and its contradictions can only be resolved by invoking the idea of a hospitality offered to every philosopher. It can itself be defined, in its way of operating, as radical hospitality offered to whatever is not itself.

    «L’estraneo sulla soglia». Per una filosofia dell’ospitalità.Antonio Di Chiro - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1319-1348.
    The path articulated in this paper has as its background and horizon the question of hospitality. In order to propose a re-thinking of this concept and the practices related to it, in this paper an attempt will be made to analyze the phenomenology of hostility starting from the analysis of the concepts of the stranger and the foreigner, and then focusing on the concept of community in order to outline the assumptions of a philosophy of hospitality. The thesis of this (...)

    Para uma Espiritualidade Cristã Personalista da «Identidade de Género»: Conciliação dos Modelos Essencialista e Existencialista.Samuel Dimas - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1669-1712.
    Since antiquity, there have been different philosophical and scientific theories about erotic desire and sexual experience. In this work, we will identify the metaphysics of sexuality in the Judeo-Christian perspective of creation and in the irrationalist perspective of Schopenhauer’s atheistic pessimism. Christian theology sacralizes heterosexuality, rejecting the Gnostic antagonism between matter and spirit. In dialogue with contemporary feminist movements, we will try to present the different rational models that justify sexual differentiation and gender identity. We will develop an empathetic and (...)

    Hospitalidade no (des)tensionamento das identidades via educação intercultural.Ana Maria Eyng, Bárbara Pimpão Ferreira & Laueni Ramos Padilha - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1713-1740.
    The multiple tensions of the present time reverberate on identity compositions, translating norms endorsed in the games of economic globalization which stress coexistence, producing inclusion and exclusion at the same time. This context refers to the action of two antagonistic forces, the first being mixophobia, strongly disruptive and excluding, the second, on the other hand, moves towards inclusion, towards respect for otherness, acceptance of the other who is identified as mixophilia. Therefore, thinking about hospitality in the contemporary context leads us (...)

    Rereading Notions of ‘Reciprocity’ and ‘Hospitality’ in the Work of Martin Buber and Jacques Derrida.Thomas Froy - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1351-1366.
    This text aims to initiate a dialogue between the works of Martin Buber and Jacques Derrida with regard to the notion of ‘reciprocity’. It is my contention that a reexamination of Buber’s notion of relation will reveal a reflection, devoid of any notions of ‘symmetry’, which strongly indicates a point of continuity with Derrida’s late thinking on hospitality. The following text, therefore, aims to provoke a reexamination of Buber’s thinking on the home, at the centre of which stands the notion (...)

    Masks, Cosmopolitanism, Hospitality: on Facial Politics in the Covid-19 Era.David Inglis, Christopher Thorpe & Anna-Mari Almila - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1511-1532.
    Philosophical issues of hospitality are bound up with broader issues of cosmopolitanism in thought and in practice. This paper considers the interplay of human faces, masks, forms of hospitality, and cosmopolitanizing and anti-cosmopolitanizing socio-political dynamics in the time of Covid-19. Despite confident assertions by some interested parties that it is now finished and past history, Covid-19 remains a major challenge across the globe, and so reflections on the interplay of masking, cosmopolitanism, and hospitality remain pertinent today and are not merely (...)

    The Hospitality between Humanity and Nature: from Ecology to a Sympoiethic Form-of-life.Andreas Gonçalves Lind & Gianfranco Ferraro - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1219-1232.
    In this article, we will show how Derrida’s deconstruction of modern individualism, exemplified by Robinson Crusoe’s attitude toward nature, addresses the contemporary debate on the Anthropocene. Through Hadot’s genealogy of modern “prometheanism,” we will discuss how a different gaze by human beings on themselves and nature can lead us out of the modern self-conception of the human person, that is resulting in the Anthropocene era, its catastrophic results endangering the very survival of humankind. Through Morton’s conception of hospitality and Haraway’s (...)

    Hospitality and Identitarian Tensions.Andreas Gonçalves Lind, Bruno Nobre, João Carlos Onofre Pinto & Ricardo Barroso Batista - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1195-1202.
    The imperative to practice hospitality constitutes a mark of Western civilization. Already in Homer’s Odyssey, the hero Ulysses punishes Polyphemus for not having respected the obligation of hospitality towards him and his companions. In fact, hospitality has been a constitutive element of the West, marked by linguistic, cultural, and religious differences, in a world whose borders are supposed to be well defined. In his discussion of hospitality, Derrida shows how Socrates, in Plato’s dialogue The Apology of Socrates, places himself in (...)

    The recognition of self as other and others as self continues to be one of the greatest challenges to the ethos necessary for institutions, public and private, engaged in hospitality. Indeed, hospitality is an intrinsic part of the recognition of the common and communal bond in which each human person can rediscover a sense of belonging and his or her own specific creaturality, the fruit of mutual and diverse encounters in the relationship between peoples and among peoples. Inspired by papal (...)

  13. L’hospitalité derridienne au prisme de l’événementialité.Léopold Mfouakouet - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1387-1404.
    Between “the one who arrives” (and triggers the new age of migrations), and “what happens” (an expression used in some instances by Derrida to refer to deconstruction), there is an eventuality to think about. This brings out a concept of unconditional hospitality which is defined as “hospitality to reality,” “hospitality to the event.” The ethical and political analyses that criticize this notion are far from tackling within this perspective, an aspect on which Derrida himself has not been always clear enough.

    Hospitality in the Public Realm: An Arendtian Account of the Role of Action and Forgiveness.Sónia da Silva Monteiro - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1233-1260.
    In the last two decades, we have seen an increasing display of gestures and language of forgiveness in the public realm. Forgiveness has become a secular phenomenon. What do we mean by forgiveness? What is the role of forgiveness in the public place? Does it have the capacity to enhance the political life and well-being of a community? In The Human Condition, first published in 1958, Hannah Arendt offers an unapparelled reading of political forgiveness, described as a quintessential human faculty (...)

    Inospitalidade e Estranhamento do Outro: A Discriminação do Mercado.Marcos Nalli - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1615-1638.
    Considering Michel Foucault’s two main courses on the general theme of biopolitics, namely, Il faut défendre la société (1997; 1999), a course for the academic year of 1976, and La naissance de la biopolitique (2004; 2008), taught by his turn in 1978/1979, I intend to consider that we are experiencing a new form of racism, this time no longer a state type, as already considered by Foucault, but a type of racism provoked and economically fomented, therefore, a market racism. Racism (...)

    Anarcho-Cosmopolitanism: Towards a New Ethos of Hospitality.Saul Newman - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1407-1430.
    This paper develops a new understanding of hospitality on the basis of an anarchist philosophy of cosmopolitanism. It is argued that anarchism – in its radical critique of the principle of sovereignty and sovereign ipseity – is primarily a philosophy and politics of hospitality. The argument proceeds in five key steps. Firstly, the relationship between ontological anarchism (Schürmann and Levinas) and political anarchism (Bakunin, Kropotkin, Proudhon, Godwin) is explored. Secondly, anarchism’s critique of nation state sovereignty is linked to a radical (...)

    Éthique de l’hospitalité, relation au frère à partir du paradigme de l’éthique henryenne.Robby Ngofo - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1457-1472.
    This paper’s central argument is that Michel Henry’s phenomenology of Life can be used to establish an ethic of hospitality. Henry recalls, by establishing the relationship to the other inside the Life’s community, that the stranger is not primarily an invader, but rather a brother, but in the meaning of the African term “ndeko”, derived from Lingala, spoken in both Congo. It is a phenomenology that asks us to transcend geographical, biological, cultural, etc. contingencies, in order to (re)discover what unites (...)

    La Belleza Ética como Realización del Telos Interior en Kierkegaard.Catalina Elena Nobre - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1767-1790.
    The focus on this article is to analyze the concept of beauty in Kierkegaard’s thought, starting from some questions that I try to answer in these pages: How does Kierkegaard understand beauty? What role does beauty play in the inner constitutive process? All this to argue that, as regards beauty, Kierkegaard recovers the Greek concept of kalokagathia to give it a modern interpretation; thus, distancing himself from the modern understanding of beauty as a mere object of study of aesthetics or (...)

    Tensioned Civility: Presidential Delegitimization of the Press.Rui Alexandre Novais & Viviane Araújo - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1533-1560.
    This explorative study contributes to the theoretical debate on political incivility beyond the domination of Western-centric approaches while connecting the bodies of literature in political philosophy and media research. It offers empirical evidence of Bolsonaro’s delegitimizing criticisms and uncivil expressions toward the press, some specific news outlets, and individual journalists during the first two years of his presidential mandate in Brazil. It concludes that Bolsonaro displayed the complete repertoire of the defining elements of political incivility in liberal democracies vis à (...)

    I fondamenti filosofico-personalistici della dottrina dell’ospitalità internazionale.Vincenzo Nuzzo - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1261-1296.
    This article pursues the aim of pointing out the occidental Personalism (that developed in Europe between the XVIIIth and the XXth century) as probably the most appropriate basis for justify the concept of “hospitality” together with the possible relative doctrine and praxis. We discuss the thought of many personalist thinkers and the thought of those thinkers that are near to the Personalism (but always taking as basis the thought of Edith Stein and Nikolaj Berdjaev). With this aim we attempt to (...)

    Hospitalidad, identidad y “transtierro” en el exilio español de 1939: El neologismo de José Gaos desde la teoría del trauma.Rafael Pérez Baquero - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1641-1668.
    This paper aims at delving further into historical and philosophical assumptions underlying Jose Gaos’s notion of “transtierro”. After going into exile and being settled in México in 1938, the Spanish philosopher coined the term “transtierro” so as to grasp the nature of Spanish diaspora in the new country. By bringing light into the extent to which the Mexican authorities support the arrival and settlement of the refuges after the Spanish Civil War, “transtierro” contributes to reframing the exile as a non-traumatic (...)

    La hospitalidad como debate filosófico en Derrida y Levinas: ¿un fenómeno im-posible?Manuel Porcel Moreno - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1367-1386.
    According to Derridean thought, unconditioned hospitality would be the only one in the name of which any hospitality can be offered. On the other hand, conditioned hospitality would be the only real practice of it. This article, based on a contrastive hermeneutic between Derridean and Levinasian thought on the question of hospitality and reception, aims to show how the constant and irresolvable dialectical tension between unconditioned hospitality and conditioned hospitality, as presented by Derrida from the “logic of symmetrical opposites”, it (...)

    La obliteración de la trascendencia política de la maternidad en la teoría erótica de Simposio.Valeria Sonna - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1741-1764.
    Diotima’s speech in the Symposium, which defines the erotic function as an act of procreation in the beautiful, is generally regarded as the most faithful account of the philosopher’s views on the nature of love. While this definition has received much attention from commentators, few studies pay attention to the literal aspect that is veiled behind the rhetorical effect Plato seeks to install. This neglect is even more striking given that the theory of reproduction that underlies the metaphor contains several (...)

    The aim of this paper is to offer a concise and faithful account of Rawls’ theory of international justice, in an effort, first, to elucidate the structure of the argument that is advanced in that theory and, second, to present a critical assessment of it. The critical assessment section attempts, on the one side, to cope with crucial methodological issues, which have a more general bearing upon Rawls’ overall political philosophical position, including the constructivist perspective of theory making and the (...)

  26. L’hospitalité langagière, point critique de la philosophie comparée entre la Chine et l’Europe.Yves Vendé - 2023 - Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia 78 (4):1297-1318.
    The history of the philosophical exchanges between China and the West is the history of the translations between the two traditions. On the western side, after the Jesuits, the range of translators became gradually broader. On the Chinese side, many intellectuals introduced Western classics in their language in the twentieth century. This led several historians to argue that Chinese philosophy took off with the translation-comparison of both traditions. However, not all comparisons are of equal value. Thus, translation in philosophy implies (...)
