520 The notion of identity -- personal, religious, ethnic, or
national -- has given rise to heated passions and crimes
throughout history. What makes each one of us unique has
been a fundamental question of philosophy from Socrates to
Freud. This book argues that the concept of identity that
prevails the world over is still very much tribal. It
allows men of all countries, conditions, and faiths to be
transformed into butchers and fanatics, passing themselves
off as defenders of a given identity. Maalouf contends
that many of us would reject our inherited conceptions of
identity, which we cling to through habit, if only we
examined them more closely. The future of society depends
on accepting -- while recognizing our uniqueness -- all
identities.
