TI - The Making of the Stranger – about the Essence of Hostility. An Attempt at a Philosophical Study
AB - 
	This paper contemplates the concept of hostility working on the assumption that people are by nature friendly and deprived of negative feelings. What it takes to fit the category of ‘stranger’ is secondary to how one becomes one in the in the eyes of other people. It is the process that matters. Hostility is a derivative and a by-product, it twists and distorts the truth about man. It is difficult to pin down what produces or provokes a hostile attitude in people. How does this complex transition from being seen as ‘different’ in the eyes of the beholders to being categorised as the ‘stranger’ play out? The author seeks to draw the reader’s attention to several apparently important themes, only to conclude that the „making of the stranger”, unnatural as it might seem, is inherent to our world. This conclusion is always tragic.
