The dialectic of the concept of identity between socio-historical contexts and ideological employment

Abstract

The socio-historical contexts of identity call for a bold philosophical discourse, through which it raises some questions without reducing some concepts and perceptions or in isolation from the strict. The socio-historical contexts of identity call for a bold philosophical discourse, through which it raises some questions without reducing some concepts and perceptions or in isolation from the strict and original philosophical proposition, because it alone can answer the fate of our identity, without going to the closed paths that are fenced by thought closed by existential emotion about ourselves. Because “the identity is what we are without any special effort, while self is what we can be, but we have not yet dared to view it as a free and only horizon for ourselves”. This philosophical horizon is the womb in which the features of liberation are raised far from every existential alienation of identity and from all the exclusion of privacy with its historical features and also far from every narcissistic vision that pushes the human being into the labyrinths of fanaticism and self-isolation with cultural or religious facts in particular.
