In commemoration of the 35th anniversary of the State Independence of the Republic of Tajikistan, a new scholarly work by Daler Komilov, Doctor of Philosophy, Associate Professor, and Head of the Department of History and Intercultural Relations at the Tajik International University of Foreign Languages named after Sotim Ulughzoda, has been published under the title The Being of the Homeland and the Philosophy of National Identity (Hermeneutics of National Being in the Digital Age).
The book presents a comprehensive philosophical and hermeneutic examination of the concepts of homeland, national identity, historical consciousness, and the spiritual challenges confronting modern human beings in the context of the digital age.
In his study, the author conceptualizes the homeland as an ontological dimension and a repository of historical memory, as well as an embodiment of language and culture. He further examines the homeland as a fundamental source of moral consciousness and a basis for the formation and preservation of a nation’s system of values.
Drawing upon the intellectual heritage of prominent thinkers of the East and the West—including Abulkasim Firdausi, Jalal ad-Din Rumi, Saadi of Shiraz, Abu Nasr al-Farabi, Martin Heidegger, Charles Taylor, and Zygmunt Bauman—as well as other distinguished philosophers, Daler Komilov explores the concept of homeland as a space of spiritual resilience, enabling individuals and societies to withstand cultural alienation and the erosion of spiritual values in the digital age.
The publication makes a meaningful contribution to contemporary philosophical discourse on national identity, historical consciousness, cultural continuity, and the spiritual dimensions of human existence in an increasingly digitalized world.
The book is intended for researchers, academics, and specialists in philosophy, cultural studies, sociology, and political science, as well as university lecturers, students, and all readers interested in questions of national identity, culture, and the philosophical understanding of the homeland.
