A Philosophical Anarchological Elucidation of Homeland, Borders, and Identity in the Existential Horizon of Anarchic Life


Homeland as Creation: From Imposition to Meaning

Ultimately, homeland is not inherited, nor passively accepted—it is created by individuals of a rebellious kind, those who dare to sever the umbilical cord of historical and coercive attachments. These are people who, with moral courage, go beyond myths and artificial identities, choosing to define homeland as an ethical choice, a creative and liberating process, and a space for living in freedom.

In this view, homeland ceases to be a product of birth, geography, or historical confinement. It becomes a dynamic, open field where identity and meaning are reimagined and re-created. This creative act demands the breaking of authoritarian ties and the building of relationships grounded in freedom, difference, and human dignity.

Thus, in the philosophical anarchology of homeland, homeland-making is not submission to the impositions of the past but a conscious, ethical, and emancipatory act. It centers free life at its core and enables the human being to re-create oneself through new, liberating connections to the world and others.

Homeland Exists Only Where Unhomelandness Is Possible

In the horizon of philosophical anarchology, homeland is not defined by attachment but by the possibility of detachment. Homeland is truly homeland only when one can leave it behind—without the collapse of dignity, freedom, or identity. In this act of departure, borders fall and meaning begins. A meaning born of will, not force; of choice, not heritage.

In this sense, the human being is no longer the subject of “nation,” “soil,” or “flag.” One’s only nation is the nation of dignity. A homeland that buries the individual within its boundaries is not a home—it is a prison. But a homeland that enables conscious unhomelandness is one where a person can live ethically, freely, and globally.

Such a homeland is not founded upon geography, race, or history, but upon free existence, the negation of domination, and shared human dignity. And if no border can contain this nation of dignity, then unhomelandness becomes not a negation of homeland—but a philosophy of freedom at its peak.

Anarchology of Religion: 1/13

Anarchology of Religion:  From Adam’s Rebellion Against the Source of Authority, Through Abraham’s Conscious Submission, to Husayn’s “No” to Domination (1/13) Mahmoud Sadeghi Janbahan Translated by Laya Najmaraqi  Preface and Analytical Introduction An Anarchological Reinterpretation of Religion: A Liberatory Experience of Freedom, Courage, and Dignity This article aims to offer a systematic and theoretical reinterpretation of two foundational religious archetypes— Adam and Abraham —as well as Husayn , the historical embodiment of rebellion against domination. However, this reading is grounded in the independent and original epistemic framework of Anarchology of Religion , which goes beyond conventional historical, theological, or mystical studies. Here, religion is reimagined as an ethical and existential experience , one that emerges in resistance to both internal and external systems of domination. From this perspective, Adam represents the first existential rebellion of...

Anarchology of Religion: 3/13

 Anarchology of Religion :  From Adam’s Rebellion Against the Source of Authority, to Abraham’s Conscious Submission, to Husayn’s Defiant “No” to Domination  (Part 3/13) M. Sadeghi Janbahan Translated by Laya Najmaraqi   Section Two: Adam’s Rebellion — A Fall Toward Freedom Within the framework of Anarchology of Religion , the myth of Adam is not merely a narrative of sinful disobedience, but rather a foundational symbol of the first ontological rebellion of the human being against a preordained, deterministic order—one that lacks agency, freedom, and moral autonomy. Paradise, as depicted in this order, offers neither individuality nor responsibility, nor the dignity that defines humanity. From the anarchological perspective, Adam’s fall is not a descent into disgrace, but rather a liberating rupture—an existential turning point in which the human transitions from bondage and unconscious submission toward freedom, awareness, and responsibility. By choosing ...

  hilosophical Anarchology of Patriotism and the Philosophical Anarchopathology of Patriotoxication (14/30) Mahmoud Sadeghi Janbahan Translated by Maryam Sadeghi/ Laya Najmaraqi  Philosophical Anarchological Elucidation of Homeland, Borders, and Identity in the Existential Perspective of Anarchic and Free Life Homeland: Home or Prison? In philosophical and humanistic traditions, the concept of home is intertwined with refuge, security, self-discovery, and inner peace—a place where the individual can be themselves, think without fear, choose freely, and live ethically alongside others. However, this very home, when emptied of freedom and turned into a site of imposition, coercion, obedience, and denial, ceases to be a home or refuge; it becomes a prison of dependency and attachment. A dazzling prison named homeland, whose essence is nothing but captivity. From the perspective of philosophical anarchology, homeland can be a “home” only if three fundamental conditions are m...
