Abstract:
This paper focuses on the problem of human alienation, what it is, and how it can be alleviated.
Philosophical, psychological, spiritual, economic, social and artistic aspects of alienation are explored and discussed, and in particular the separation from our source that underpins all of contemporary life.
Resolution of many of the issues can be found in the application of tikanga maori as outlined by Mason Durie in “Maori Health Model – Te Whare Tapa Wha”.
