The Other Side of Religion. The Border as an Epistemological Place

Abstract

In this article, the current crisis of traditional religions is approached from the failure of Western thought, focused on the assertion of the self and whose consequences in the twentieth century were the Holocaust, countless social conflicts, wars and the emergence of the ecological problem. Rescuing the centrality of the other and the pursuit of the frontier as epistemological place could provide a great opportunity to rethink all that which is religious and religion from other hermeneutical paradigms.
