الأبعاد الفلسفية للهجرة : دراسة معاصرة في جدل الغربة و الحنين و الإبداع

الملخص EN

Does philosophy have any philosophical dimensions? Is merely a geographic, legal, or economic issue with which philosophy is not engaged? Can philosophy study immigration or take a stance toward it? Philosophy compels its practitioners, novice or professionals, to take a rational or critical stance toward society, the world, and the self.

Such a stance should significantly influence different aspects of our lives including the relationship between man and his outside world, homeland, and society.

Philosophy can handle this issue from three perspectives: First, the problems raised on the migrant subject, Second, the problems that emerge from the departure toward a new life in diaspora, Third, the problem of immigration itself and its ramifications like alienation, nostalgia, motives, meaning, and creativity that accompany all these problems that result from not answering the question pertaining to the previous two problems.

These questions look for answers on the existence in an alien world.

Immigration, in itself, has an answer to the question on the search for meaning, search for a meaning to the migrant subjectivity, meaning of life, and meaning of destination.

These questions determine the philosophical dimension of immigration which focuses sometimes on nostalgia and sometimes on finding a way to effectively exist in diaspora.

Immigration as a subject might be discussed as a philosophical issue.

Migrants are engaged in philosophical practice during their journey.
