The Dichotomy of the Self: An Exploration of the Great Ideas About Human Nature by Farah Smiley
Requirements: .ePUB, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 0.5 Mb
Overview: The basic predicament that we all have is whether we are separate or connected. In this concise book, I show how the theories of Freud, Jung, Kohut, Foucault, Girard and others, are really addressing the same fundamental problem, and that it would be a mistake to try to reinvent the wheel. We are destined to live within the tension of being connected and disconnected to others, to nature, and to ourselves. And rather than try to aim for total unity or total separation, we must learn to accept this tension as a basic fact of life – a necessary part.
What is nature of the Self? Why does conflict exist? Why is human aggression so pernicious? Why is the world so polarized? Why does everyone want to be an influencer? Why is narcissism on the rise? And why do so many people believe so many strange ideas? Through a quick tour of many great ideas of the past, you will get answers to these questions. And you will be inspired to ask yourself questions about other people, and yourself, that may have not occurred to you before.
