The hospitality, according to Derrida's thought, is a "to-come" of friend- ship and will be a "to-come" the host. Naturally, the friendship can determine the hospitality, making it stronger and more effective. Indeed, Derrida over- come the aporias of hospitality through the concept of teleia philia (friend- ship perfection), which is derived from the Aristotelian thought, how can one describe the thinking of the philosopher: "the presence of friends, however, seem to have a mixed nature . See friends is affable greatly when it passes a miserable time, ... ". Hospitality is a "relationship of otherness", which has nothing to do with indifference. A friendship forms the hospitality, as the antithesis of hospitality is the "kenosis" of the Other, as a desire for destruction, a certain "momentum fanatic", which undermines the hospitality.

Jacques Derrida's personage and work is joined with a modern intellectual trend, named as deconstruction. Some interests about deconstruction, and its real influence is particularly alive in literary, philosophical and artistic surroundings. On the background of this cultural matter, his political interests seems to take secondary place. But Derrida's closer analysis of biography and stages of formation his concept confirm "political implications". What is more important, the correlation to the Marx's philosophy is not a coincidence and has significant impact on the way of the discurse about the democracy.

In this paper, I discuss the interpretation of the method of deconstruction in David J. Gunkel’s Deconstruction (MIT Press 2021). I focus on the relationship between deconstruction and truth. I hold that the concept of truth is indispensable for deconstruction since truth introduces correctness conditions for the deconstructive method. However, I claim that truth, being essential and primitive for deconstruction, is fundamentally inaccessible for being analyzed by the latter.

Where else, if not “in a text”, can two bright minds, or two writers, meet? Is it possible for two intellectuals who engage in a dialogue to understand each other without appropriation, i.e. without constantly borrowing from each other and commenting on each other’s ideas? This essay is an attempt at answering these questions by using the unique relation between Hélène Cixous and Jacques Derrida as an example. The friendship between these two is based on efforts to understand each other’s thoughts and writings – but all this is not without respect for each other’s singularity, sovereignty and intimacy.

The article is an attempt to interpret the poem Masmix (written by Tomasz Pułka) in terms of the relationship that the piece makes with other author’s poems (especially those published on the Internet) and the works of Stanisław Barańczak or Philip Larkin. Due to the contextual reading it is revealed that the most important subject of the discussed text is the problem of space, which is later examined in reference to the Plato’s and Derrida’s category of Chora.
PL
Artykuł jest próbą interpretacji wiersza Masmix Tomasza Pułki pod kątem relacji, jakie utwór nawiązuje z innymi lirykami poety (zwłaszcza tymi publikowanymi w przestrzeni cybernetycznej) oraz z dziełami Stanisława Barańczaka czy Philipa Larkina. Pod wpływem lektury kontekstowej ujawnione zostaje, że najistotniejszym tematem omawianego tekstu jest przestrzeń; ostatecznie szkic proponuje analizę wiersza w odniesieniu do Platońskiej i Derridiańskiej kategorii Chory.

This paper discusses the deconstructionist category of absence applied by Derrida to the notion of writing, as it is possible for a written message to function despite the physical non-presence of the sender, the recipient, and the context. Derrida challenges the absolute predominance of the Logos, manifested in orality, and sug gests elevating the status of writing. The Derridean concept of arche-writing entails comprehending the written sign as an infinite idea that transcends the present. This paper attempts to relate Derrida’s theory to the 21st century’s ubiquitous virtual communication, which largely involves graphic signs. Nowadays, ICT solu tions enable an anonymous sender to communicate with an absent recipient in an unspecified context by means of written characters. The exploration of digital space marks the end of the era of the Logos, and begins the period when writing turns into a symbol of permanence and infinity.

This paper is a defence of the conception of forgiveness as a reciprocal action. This claim, though often taken for granted, deserves close examination. For J. Derrida, for instance, true forgiveness follows hyperbolic ethics, i.e. the ethics of “abundance” or “over-abundance” in which forgiveness is conferred unconditionally, regardless of the offender’s acknowledgement of his/her guilt. Contrary to this standpoint, and drawing on V. Jankélévitch and P. Ricœur, as well as on current debates on forgiveness, the paper tries to show that although guilt is transcended infinitely by forgiveness and its generosity, the forgiveness itself still must have a sense. And the latter is depen­dent on a personal face-to-face relationship between the one conferring forgiveness and the offender.

Gegenstand des Aufsatzes ist die Verteidigung der These, dass die Vergebung ein auf Reziprozität beruhender Akt ist. Diese Behauptung ist nicht so selbstverständlich, wie es scheinen könnte. In den Intentionen der Überlegungen z. B. von J. Derrida wird die wahre Vergebung von der hyperbolischen Ethik geleitet, d.h. von der Ethik „des Überflusses“, des Übermaßes, die unbedingt verzeiht und zwar ungeachtet dessen, ob der Schuldige seine Schuld bekannte oder nicht bekannte. Im Gegensatz zu dieser Ansicht und ausgehend von Ansätzen von V. Jankélévitch, P. Ricœur, aber auch von aktuellen Diskussionen über die Vergebung soll mit dem vorliegenden Beitrag aufgezeigt werden, dass die Vergebung mit ihrer Großzügigkeit zwar die Schuld unendlich überschreitet, dabei aber Sinn haben muss. Und dieser Sinn ist bedingt durch die persönliche Beziehung „von Angesicht zu Angesicht“ zwischen dem Vergebenden und dem Schuldigen.

The term Theology is of Greek origin, and etymologically means knowledge of God. The term began to be used by Christians from Eusebius of Caesarea. From then be understood as methodical exposure of Revelation, accepted by the faith. This understands into the truths revealed in the light of reason enlightened by the faith. As better, could be defined as science in which the mind of the believer, faith-driven theological strives to better understand the mysteries revealed in themselves and in their consequences, 1) Material object is the reality that Theology itself is concerned. The object is God and all the realities of the created and governed by his plan of salvation. The primary material object is God and the child object is created everything as ordered to God; 2) Formal Object is the object quod, what belongs to God the Deus sub ratione Deitatis,and the other is the formal object light under which the object is considered. In this case, the reason enlightened by the faith.

Energy and mass are generally interpreted as different properties of matter, for instance: the energy of a particle is generally interpreted as a measure of its capacity to do work. The law of the equivalence of mass and energy does not imply that mass is sometimes converted into energy or vice versa, but states that the changes in one are accompanied by corresponding changes in the other, inertial mass and energy being proportional to each other: E = m . c2. The law of conservation of mass is, therefore, equivalent to the law of conservation of energy and they are sometimes combined together and called the law of conservation of mass- energy. The proportionality between the relativistic mass and energy leads to the fact that the statement on the conservation of the total relativistic mass of particles is the statement on the conservation of the total energy using the relation between the relativistic mass and energy. Accordingly we can analyse the philosophical reasons of the relativistic dynamic. But this examination implicates a review on the causality principle, because we aspire to the new philosophical contained for the relativistic arguments. Meanwhile, the Relativistic Dynamics is also affected by the deconstruction.

Jacques Derrida’s critique of Edmund Husserl in Voice and Phenomenon targets several ways in which Husserl’s theory of signs is said to remain dependent on a model of presence, and therefore to be a form of onto-theology. In a sense this simply extends Martin Heidegger’s own critique of Husserl as failing to account for what remains obscure behind any presentation to the mind. Yet Derrida’s critique is ultimately more radical than Heidegger’s, though the radicality is in this case unjustified. Namely, Derrida goes beyond Heidegger’s critique of presence to mount an additional critique of “self-presence,” which is more often known as “identity.” Derrida’s insufficiently motivated critique of identity leads to additional problems for his philosophy.

Deconstruction is present in the field of Chemistry from Analitic to Synthetic. Naturally arises as a method and as a foundation. Deconstruction affects the Chemistry, particularly Organic, as an experimental science. Traditionally, the principles of chemistry starting with the study of elementary particles, atoms, molecules, substances and other aggregates of matter. This is anything that occupies space and possesses rest mass (or invariant mass). It is a general term for the substance of which all physical objects consist. Typically, the material includes atoms and other particles having a mass. The mass is said by some to be the amount of matter in an object and volume is the amount of space occupied by an object, but this definition confuses mass with matter, which are not the same thing. Different fields use the term in different ways and sometimes incompatible, there is a unique meaning that scientific consensus is for the word “matter”, although the term “mass” be well defined. The article can be found mainly in solid, liquid and gas, in isolation or in combination. Chemical reactions and other transformations such as phase changes involving the rearrangement of chemical bonds and other interactions between the molecules. These changes invariably involve several important concepts such as energy, chemical equilibrium among others. The desconstruction affects all Chemistry from method to foundations.

This essay seeks to make a case for deconstruction as a kind of critical intervention for responding to and dealing with the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century and beyond. Toward this end, it proceeds in three steps or movements. (1) The first part will deconstruct deconstruction, deliberately employing what will be revealed as an inaccurate vernacular understanding of the term in order to extract a more precise and technical characterization of the concept. (2) The second part will investigate the constitutive elements of deconstruction, focusing attention on its two-step procedure, which has been deliberately designed to be a kind of distortion of Hegelian dialectics. (3) Finally, the third part will examine the opportunities and the challenges of the theory and practice of deconstruction indicating how and why it can be considered a critical intervention, albeit one that is not without its own potential problems and vulnerabilities.

Adrienne Kennedy’s psychodrama Funnyhouse of a Negro personifies in her protagonist, Sarah, the internalized racism and mental deterioration that a binary paradigm foments. Kennedy also develops the schizoid consciousness of Sarah to accentuate Sarah’s hybridized and traumatized identity as an African American woman. Kennedy’s play was controversial during the Black Arts Movement, as she refrained from endorsing black nationalist groups like Black Power, constructing instead a nightmare world in which race is the singular element in defining self-worth. In her dramatized indictment of both white supremacy and identity politics, American culture’s pathologized fascination with pigmentation drives the protagonist to solipsistic isolation, and ultimately, to suicide. Kennedy, through the disturbed cast of Sarah’s mind, portrays a world in which race obsession triumphs over any sense of basic humanity. The play urges the audience to accept the absurdity of a dichotomized vision of the world, to recognize the spectral nature of reality, and to transcend the devastation imposed by polarizing rhetoric.

The author begins by analyzing Walter Benjamin’s quarrel with George Kreis and the respective visions of culture advocated by both sides of the debate. Then, he offers a reading of a poem by Paul Celan in which the poet sides with Benjamin, but also makes his position more complex, ultimately offering a paradoxical figure of “the secret openness” or “open/public secrecy” as a remedy against the “mystery” of the Georgians. This idea can be seen as developed in Jacques Derrida’s understanding of secrecy, which the author proceeds to analyze. The secrecy as a deconstructive rift in the public discourse, a split which tears it open, can be seen as opposed both to the undemocratic mystery and to the seeming openness of globalatinization. After considering the formal, political and (post)religious aspects of secrecy, the author ends with showing how literature as such is the most powerful medium of Derridean secret.

The series of Jacques Derrida and Peter Eisenman meetings, which took place in the period of 1985–1987, induced many authors to make comments. Some of them (Jeffrey Kipnis, Ann Bergren, Maria Theodorou) developed the subject of chôra which was introduced to the discussion by Derrida. The problem that was about to be solved was the question of tying up the concept of chôra with architecture, including Eisenman’s architecture and the series of meetings within frames of Chora L Works project. Kipnis on this occasion paid attention to chôra and its character of anachronia which infects any being created within chôra. In other words, any event has its counterpart (analogon) in another, earlier event. He demonstrated the similarity of structure of many events and statements from the times of Derrida and Eisenman’s meetings to the almost identical behaviour of figures in Plato’s dialogue Timaios. The loss of beginning present in this phenomenon was appropriate to both features of chôra and the effects of typical analyses of philosophy of deconstruction. Bergren’s analyses focused on accentuating gender of chôra, which, according to this author, had been neglected hitherto in discussions. She collated chôra descriptions with characteristics of women in myths, early Greek epic and philosophy and she arrived at a conclusion that chôra has features of a single woman and a married one at the same time. And yet Theodorou’s studies showed that in the Homeric epics chôra is not treated as an idea but it is related with single things and events. The other part of the comments (represented by Andrew Benjamin and K. Michael Hays’ utterances) concerns Eisenman’s attitude to tradition which was treated as a variety of iteration understood philosophically. Benjamin commenced his considerations at the point of closeness between a definition of tradition and a concept of chôra understood as perpetuation (placement). A problematic issue was for him Eisenman’s complex relation to tradition based on its contest and affirmation at the same time. Overcoming the simple subordination to tradition – according to Benjamin – was based on awareness of the role of repetition in culture not known before. Hays made an attempt to explain the pleasure and torment of repetition with the support of Sigmund Freud and Roland Barthes’ concepts. According to Hays the repetitions are the attempts of a single being to return to a certain primal state perceived as free of any tension. In a similar way Rosalind Krauss explained a motif of a grate present in Modernistic art and also exceptionally frequent in Eisenman’s work.

As research in natural sciences and humanities becomes ever more specialized and technical, and the sword of Damocles – publish or perish – hangs over the head of every scholar, academic publishing proliferates but at the cost of its public relevance. Theology is no exception here, but the consequences are potentially much more disastrous. One need not understand anything about quantum mechanics for PET scan to work, but when nobody outside of academia understands contemporary theology, it is hard to imagine how “faith seeking understanding” makes any sense in the absence of such understanding amongst the believers. In order for a work of theology to make sense, it should be accessible for a wider public and it has to be existentially relevant. The present essay offers a few suggestions how theologians might go about meeting these criteria.

The article is an interpretation of the novel Pet Sematary in the context of Jacques Derrida’s hauntology. The theme of undeadness is developed by using concepts from Derridian philosophies (such as specter, haunting, iteration or mortgage). In this way, the essay shows how popular literature reproduces bearing ideas for the present and develops philosophical themes fictionalizing them.

The paper’s aim is mainly propaedeutic: to provide the reader with the explanation of basic concepts of Derridean ‘Hauntology’. The first part of the article is based on three concurrent publications: first of all on the Polish translation of Specters of Marx by Jacques Derrida (2016) but also on Widmontologie nowoczesności  by Jakub Momro (2014) and Widmontologia by Andrzej Marzec (2014). It focuses on the concepts of spectralization of being, spectralization of time and the “visor effect”. In the second part of the paper one can find applications of the hauntology to the contemporary cultural critical practice (e.g. to teletechnologies).
