Based upon an interdisciplinary approach, between Philosophy and International Relations, the research attempt to comprehended the formulations of Derrida in order to systematize and promote acknowledgments translated in scientific publications.The question has prominence in political philosophy and international relations. Evoked in Ancient Greek, discussed and promoted by cinics and stoics, was recovered in modern perspective by Immanuel Kant, who generated the right of hospitality in cosmopolitan terms. Derrida, in contemporary approach, illuminate the hospitality but as a synonym of Ethics, promoting, at the same time, the idea of unconditional hospitality.
