He asserts that self-esteem not founded on individual achievement leads to a continual search for external supports and is easily shaken when such supports are not found. A key element of Keshen's argument is the idea of egalitarian respect, and he shows how we can integrate this idea into our lives. Reasonable Self-Esteem demonstrates the attraction of a life in which reasonableness is a central commitment. It will appeal to those with an interest in philosophy, ethics, and moral psychology and is essential reading for those concerned with self-esteem.Self-esteemSelf-perceptionSelf-esteem.Self-perception.171/.3Keshen Richard1946-1690224MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809727303321Reasonable self-esteem4065815UNINA
