Self and Other in an Age of Uncertain Meaning delves into the intricate nature and origins of prevalent self-related issues in contemporary societies. It scrutinizes the paradoxical interplay between the numerous benefits and freedoms offered by the modern world and the escalating social challenges and psychological impacts they entail.
Over time, the very essence of consciousness has undergone a transformative shift in sync with societal trends. The experienced world has become increasingly intricate, fragmented, and uncertain, while simultaneously becoming more personal and intimate, reshaping the dynamics of social relationships. Chapters delve into the interconnectedness of language, mind, intimacy, the self, and culture, contending that the coevolution of these five factors has given rise to the modern world, resulting in numerous aspects of contemporary culture that disrupt the sense of security and well-being.
The book explores the paramount significance of a robust sense of self in fostering relationships founded upon mutual recognition of moral and intellectual equality between partners. Rich with examples drawn from everyday experiences, this text provides profound insights for individuals interested in sociology, psychoanalysis, psychology, communication, history, and culture.
