About this title

Synopsis

Identity - a threat to the community?

In a perceptive essay, Tonio Hölscher examines the inflationarily used concept of cultural, social, and political identity and questions it with a critical review of ancient Greece. The dynamics of political and cultural identity in antiquity as well as the meaning of the term in the present are debate. A brilliant as well as controversial analysis of great political topicality.

The awareness of identity has become a universal foundation of cohesion of political, social, cultural, and religious entities in the globally open world. As a result, the notion of identity has expanded in two directions in the current discourses as in the historical sciences. On the one hand, collective units are awarded their identity as an unquestionable right; in doing so, the conflict-seeking aggressiveness of collective identity is accepted. On the other hand, the fundamentalist concept of identity leads to an inflationary use that takes any clarifying precision from the term and obscures the view of crucial questions of life.
