    [abstract] => This study critically examines Amin Maalouf's intellectual insights into contemporary notions of identity and social cohesion in the context of globalization. Thoroughly analyzing his essays and literary corpus, the study reveals his exceptional ability to express specific cultural experiences while addressing universal human concerns. The study shows how Maalouf's concept of spiritual anchors can serve as a theoretical framework for reconciling cultural uniqueness with universal human values. Thus, it proposes a practical approach towards maintaining social harmony while embracing diversity. The analysis explores three primary dimensions of Maalouf's intellectual contribution: cultural and linguistic preservation as fundamental stabilizers, universalistic humanism as ethical framework and the emergence of border-beings (êtres frontaliers) as mediating figures in multicultural societies. Employing established analytical perspectives, this study examines Maalouf's literary vision, which transcends the conventional dichotomy of particularism and universalism, offering instead a nuanced synthesis that acknowledges multiple belonging while maintaining social cohesion. The study reveals how Maalouf's concept of spiritual anchors serves as flexible mechanism for navigating the complexity associated with identity amid globalisation, fostering cultural competence, linguistic diversity and ethical commitment to universal human dignity while preserving distinctive cultural legacies. This research contributes valuable insights to scholarly discourse on identity, multiculturalism and global citizenship by examining how literary intellectuals engage with pressing sociopolitical challenges offering humanistic perspectives to bridge the gap between real-life experience and pragmatic application.
