The Crisis of Individuality
Who am I, and how should I relate to the world around me? These are the fundamental questions that underlie all human thought and activity, and the anxieties we encounter as we search for answers can inspire creativity and flourishing as much as they can drive us towards hatred and destruction. In this work of phenomenology, cultural critique, and political theory, author Jordan D. Smirl explores how we define ourselves as individuals and how different structures of thought, cultural standards, and economic demands tend to influence those definitions. Are we as independent as we think we are? Are we as free-thinking as we like to believe? Are there no alternatives to our way of being? These are the questions that must be asked as we face the crisis of individuality.
