| dc.description.abstract | The concept or teaching of the fundamental alienness of man in the world, as outlandish as it might have seemed in the beginning of this essay, can therefore be considered as a useful means to deal with this condition human in a meaningful and productive way. Feeling like a stranger oder alienation could thus be interpreted and integrated into life as a positive force which enables us to transcend our existential isolation towards a communication with everything that is different, foreign and new.1 From this perspective, even a non-believer is entitled to agree with the prophetic Hadith, be it authentic or not, which says: Fa tūbā li-l-ghurabā’: Blessed are the strangers! | en_US |
