He seems to say that we should always and everywhere welcome the other into our own, into our home or our land, “without condition,” no questions asked, even if they mean to do us harm. But surely we have the right to insist that the other is welcome only under the condition of having no ill intentions. So it seems, contra Derrida, that hospitality only makes sense if it is conditional while unconditional hospitality is inviting trouble. So the question for us today is this, How can the notion of unconditional hospitality – or forgiveness – be maintained in the face of such perfectly obviously objections? A cautionary note: Derrida takes up the question of hospitality from the point of view of the refugee, the displaced, the exile, the immigrant, in short, of those who are in need of our hospitality. He was not discussing the right to self-defense when we come under attack by the other, when the other poses a clear and present threat. So we are raising this question in a different context and we will need to draw out the implications of what he is saying for our own purposes today. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000","PeriodicalId":131385,"journal":{"name":"Theological Reflections: Eastern European Journal of Theology","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133733914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study touches upon such subjects as intellectual influences on the process of formation of Yannaras’s thought, the role of the apophatic mystical tradition in Christian theology, and the basic roots of his radical anti-Scholasticism. The article also contains the detailed survey of Yannaras’s analysis of Friedrich Nietzsche’s ‘God is dead’-concept as the natural final point of the Western intellectual discourse’s degradation and dechristianization. There’s also a set of counterarguments from Yannaras’s opponents – Eastern Orthodox theologians Pantelis Kalaitzidis and Vasilios Makrides – who stand for dialogue, openness, ecumenical activity and inclusiveness of the modern Orthodox Church and reject any attempts of its intellectual self-isolation and solipsization.","PeriodicalId":131385,"journal":{"name":"Theological Reflections: Eastern European Journal of Theology","volume":"314 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133668581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
