Description:This interdisciplinary study examines the emergence, rise, and decline of individualism as a central feature of the Western world view. Building on research into the concept of self, Daniel Shanahan argues that the seeds of individualism - that system of beliefs in which the individual becomes the final arbiter of truth - were sown in ancient civilisations where subjective consciousness first became apparent. He then traces the evolution of the Western self-concept through its various historical representations: the analog self of the Greeks and Hebrews; the authorised self of Augustine and the Christian era; and the empowered self of modernity.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
