A Palpable Self for the Socially Marginal: The Phrenological Alternative -- Epilogue -- Notes -- Note on Sources -- IndexIn the wake of the French Revolution, as attempts to restore political stability to France repeatedly failed, a group of concerned intellectuals identified a likely culprit: the prevalent sensationalist psychology, and especially the flimsy and fragmented self it produced. They proposed a vast, state-run pedagogical project to replace sensationalism with a new psychology that showcased an indivisible and actively willing self, or moi. As conceived and executed by Victor Cousin, this long-lived project singled out the male bourgeoisie for training in selfhood --Cousin and his disciples deemed workers and women incapable of the introspective finesse necessary to appropriate that self in practice.PsychiatryFranceHistory18th centuryPsychiatryFranceHistory19th centuryMonomaniaEgo (Psychology)Middle classFranceHistory18th centuryMiddle classFranceHistory19th centuryPsychiatryHistoryPsychiatryHistoryMonomania.Ego (Psychology)Middle classHistoryMiddle classHistory155.2094409033XB 5693rvkGoldstein Jan1946-618178MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778161303321The post-revolutionary self3693269UNINA
