Homeland: between agony and assertion of the difference
Abstract
This article tackles the concept of “homeland” as expression of the Heideggerian question concerning ‘the meaning of being’. Technology and global civilisation are considered here as tendencies to the homogenisation of the human experience and as loss of “the own-ness’ of the homeland, what guides to the dissolution of the difference and of the ethical appeal of the other. On the contrary, Heideggers philosophy allows to affirm the homeland as disclosure to the appeal of the ‘other’.
