Über dieses Buch
This book provides a persuasive account of how identity
and difference factor in the debate on the self in the
humanities. It explores this topic by applying the question to
fields such as philosophy, cultural studies, politics and race
studies. Key themes discussed in this collection include
authenticity in Michel de Montaigne’s essays, the limits of the
narrative constitution of the self, the use and abuse of the
notion of human nature in political theory and in the
current political context of multiculturalism, and the feminist
notion of the erotic and of sexual violence. This book will
appeal to readers with an interest in new perspectives on the
self within the humanities.
