More about the book
Exploring the multifaceted experience of alienation in late-antique East, this study delves into Christianity's historical context and its elevation of estrangement as a key religious virtue. It examines the faith's focus on marginalized individuals and the contemporary relevance of social utopia as a remedy for alienation. The contradictions within Christianity are highlighted, particularly its opposition to legal structures while inadvertently supporting imperial violence. Additionally, it investigates existential and psychological themes, tracing the evolution of the modern self from antiquity to the Middle Ages.
