Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In Life In Common Tzvetan Todorov Explores The Construction Of The Self And Offers New Perspectives On Current Debates About Otherness. Through The Seventeenth Century, Solitude Was Considered The Human Condition In The Western Philosophical Tradition. The Self Was Not Dependent On Others To Perceive Itself As Complete. Todorov Sees A Reversal Of This Thinking Beginning With The Writings Of Jeanjacques Rousseau In The Eighteenth Century. For The First Time The Self Was Defined As Incomplete Without The Other, And The Gaze No Longer Served Only To Satisfy Personal Vanity But Constituted The Fundamental Requisite For Human Identity.Todorov Traces The Farreaching Implications Of Rousseau'S New Vision Of The Self And Society Through The Political, Philosophical, And Psychoanalytical Theories Of Adam Smith, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Georges Bataille, Melanie Klein, And Others, And The Relevant Literary Works Of Karl Philipp Moritz, The Marquis De Sade, And Marcel Proust. In An Original Study Of The Bond Between Parent And Child, Todorov Develops A Compelling Vision Of The Self As Social.
