Sommario/riassunto |
|
Do we have to conceive of ourselves as isolated individuals inevitably distanced from other people and from whatever we might mean when we use the word 'God'? This title offers an innovative approach to the history of the modern Western self by looking at human identity as something people do together rather than on their own. |
