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.
