As the unprecedented levels of migration and displacement illustrate, many people are without a home today. Tied to this social homelessness is an existential homelessness. For moderns, the world should be our one and only home, but we are alienated from it: not at home on the planet, not at home in our countries, cities, and dwellings, estranged even from ourselves.
