Hospitality is commonly referred as one of the meanings of hospes, the Latin word which is also the root of hospice. This article explores the semantics of the word hospice - the seal of identity of modern hospice movement - and attempts to integrate the meaning of hospitality into the modern hospice movement, understood as unconditional reception. Therefore, the article analyzes the concept of unconditional hospitality, developed by Jacques Derrida and that of ethical responsibility proposed by Emmanuel Levinas based on the phenomenological experience of the other. From this point of view, these two concepts tie in with the meaning of hospice, bringing substantial grounding elements to the hospice movement for the construction of a protective ethos.
好客通常被认为是 hospes（拉丁语，意为“主人”）一词的含义之一，而 hospice（临终关怀）正是源于该词。本文探讨了 hospice（临终关怀）一词的语义——现代临终关怀运动的标志——并试图将好客的含义融入现代临终关怀运动，理解为无条件的接纳。因此，本文分析了雅克·德里达（Jacques Derrida）提出的无条件好客概念和埃马纽埃尔·列维纳斯（Emmanuel Levinas）提出的基于他人的现象学经验的伦理责任概念。从这个角度来看，这两个概念与 hospice（临终关怀）的含义相契合，为临终关怀运动的保护性伦理的构建提供了实质性的基础元素。
