Abstract
This essay attempts to discover a solution to what Derrida has called the problem of "the worst": unconditional inhospitality leads to suicide. The solution consists in the construction of a "recipe": unconditional hospitality. In seven steps, the recipe tells us how to internalize others (non-human animals in particular, the living) without destroying their singularity.
