+====Metaphysical violence is invevitable-All concepts, identities, and judgements are constructed in opposition to their negative. There can be no conception of good without bad, friendship without betrayal, promises without promise breaking. Justice should be focused on minimizing this ontological violence.==== |

+====Second, ethics requires answering the question of responsibility otherwise agents can always question why they are subject to the rule i.e "I know that a certain principle is moral, but why should I care about acting morally." However, Absolute responsibility to the other fails, if I attempt to be hospitable to the other I inherently sacrifice my hospitality to the other other.==== |

+====Attempts at a reduction of metaphysical violence and an ethic of democratic responsibility towards the other requires refusal to foreclose possible futures. We never know who or what the other is and can therefore never know what they will require. However, democracy itself is inherently contradictory and requires that same metaphysical violence. This necessitates a conception of democracy as always to-come in which we create forms of struggle that result in material changes to include the other.==== |
