Overview

Anthropology came into being on the day it answered the question 'What is a human being?', the first and fundamental question of philosophy. It then divided into two schools of thought: the first, rational and critical, placed the subject in history as part of a dialectical process of self-awareness that experiences conflict in order to be recognised in the material conditions that surround it; the second, empirical and sensory, reveals the importance of the physical dimension, establishes sensory cogito and recognises that the concept of the rational subject is merely a linguistic illusion created by habit.This book offers a fascinating intellectual journey that examines one of the most complex questions of our time: the apparent contradiction between identity and citizenship, or what might be called the conflict between heritage belonging and modern integration. At a time when cultures are intersecting, identities are clashing and traditional boundaries between peoples are breaking down, the question of how to preserve the collective self without falling into isolation or assimilation becomes crucial.
