Description

Explore the complex ways human identity is formed in Strangers, Gods and Monsters: Interpreting Otherness. Published by Routledge, this book examines how our understanding of ourselves is shaped by three powerful forces: strangers, gods, and monsters. Richard Kearney uses vivid examples and illustrations to explain how these enigmatic figures influence the human outlook on the world. In the first section, the text investigates how the figure of the stranger defines identity. By looking at historical perspectives, such as the "barbarian" in ancient Greece and the "savage" in imperial Europe, Kearney demonstrates how the concept of the "Other" helps establish our own sense of self. This work provides a deep look into the social and cultural forces that define human perception and identity through the lens of mythology and history.
