Otherness and Interculturality in the book of Halts by Emir abd -al-kader

Abstract

Approaching religious and specific texts from the point of view of otherness and interculturality in a world shaken by conflicts in the name of religion led us to revisit the Book of Halts by Emir Abd -al-Kader in the light of this currentness.
The Other in the Emir’s thought is not the opposite of the Same, neither inferior nor superior as in a Western metaphysics but the equal and the similar.
In this article, we will try to understand the origin of such a posture and to make it happen, it is essential to attach it to a long Sufi tradition, whose guiding thread is the thought of Ibn Arabi, based on love and tolerance.
