Summary/Abstract: Although the ethics of “hospitality” alleviates the outcome of ethics based on separating from and resisting otherness, the object of our concern remains the identity of the host. The author – while acknowledging that the as if source figure of the “incomer” is a woman reflects on the possibility of crossing such a perspective: in doing so he seeks symptoms of such a manner of thought, which treats “otherness” not as the effect of the appearance of the “guest” but as a primeval state. In the second part of the article this conceptual model is in particular the Greek conceit of daidalos – a special image created according to a modern intellectual model based on separating and putting together, whose visual effect is scintillation, connected with such categories as: kharis and ikelos.
