The answer the urgent question of what is happening today we require categories that can be open and welcoming towards these epoch-changing times and consequences thereof. To Nietzsche’s ethical turning point, the unprecedented ethical-political crisis and the new soft totalitarianism, Derrida responds with the experience of the absolute precedence of ethics of E.Levinas. At the heart of his ethics of hospitality and deconstruction we encounter justice and law. It is precisely this dimension of the structural aporetic reciprocal interpenetration between “ethical” and “juridical” that leads to a new idea of the “political”, the highest form of which is “democracy to come”.
