UVAŽOVAŤ S BLANCHOTOM O PRIATEĽSTVE

When considering friendship Maurice Blanchot refers to the statement: 'Ah, my friends, there is no friend', ascribed to Aristotle. By Auschwitz it is impossible to look at a friend without certain distrust and the friendship finds its 'true name' in the core of this aporetic tension and invincible contradiction. For Blanchot the 'true name of friendship' is a faceless friendship beyond the notion of friend, which after the holocaust could reintroduce the infinite into our thinking.
