Abstract
The text is a fragment of a book titled The Jew, The Arab: A History of the Enemy, which is devoted to the history of hostility between Arabs and Jews, as well as to the connection of this conflict with the shaping of both identities in Europe and the identities of Arabs and Jews themselves. Following considerations by such philosophers as Carl Schmitt and Jacques Derrida, the author tries to present the mechanisms responsible for creating primary differences as the necessary conditions for identity creation. These differences are essential for creating conceptual pairs such as "inside-outside” or "enemy-friend." The problem of constructing a concept of the enemy as well as of forging differences and identities is examined at the crossroads of theology, politics, law and ethnic differences, as well as in its function in the very creation of the concept of "Europe."References
