Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 The modern self is the result of a long and complicated process, and I can only briefly outline some of the key ideas that help set the scene for the interpretation of our contemporary world.

#2 The current mindset of the West is characterized by a highly individualistic, sexually obsessed, and materialistic culture. This mindset has almost completely dispensed with the idea of any authority beyond that of personal, psychological conviction.

#3 The social imaginary is the way people think about the world and how they act intuitively in relation to it. It is not so much a conscious philosophy of life as a set of intuitions and practices. It is the totality of the way we look at our world, and how we make sense of our behavior within it.

#4 The idea of the self that makes transgenderism possible is a culmination of many different cultural phenomena, not just theoretical and philosophical rationales.
