Abstract: The study “Quod fuimus, estis; quod sumus, vos eritis. The Dialectic of Identity, Alterity, Recognition and the Limits of Principle” deals with a problem which has achieved significant attention from the scientific literature of today (psychology, social psychology, sociology),media, the public, but also of course philosophy and philosophical anthropology: on the question of a person’s identity and self-identification. It provides a partial overview of the different approaches to identity from various fields and comes to terms with crucial issues of national and cultural identity in its critique. The author concludes the study with the statement that the problem of identity often tends to be overestimated for political rather than scientific and philosophical reasons, something which often descends into the legitimization of nationalism.
