Abstract

WAHBA, Liliana Liviano. The strange other and the limits of tolerance. Junguiana [online]. 2017, vol.35, n.2, pp. 5-12. ISSN 0103-0825.

The notion of otherness has an archetypal/ontological foundation, yet it is hardly achieved in social life. The reflection proposed here addresses the limits of tolerance, as well as the proliferation of intolerance and radicalism, permeated by a fanaticism whose dark disruptions are intertwined with cruelty. This work suggests that the link between otherness, tolerance and acceptance of the other implies accepting existential anxiety and coping with uncertainty.

Keywords : Tolerance; otherness; shadow.
