A Philosophy of Nationhood and the Modern SelfIndividual Autonomy and Belonging

A Philosophy of Nationhood and the Modern Self: Individual Autonomy and Belonging [This chapter further explores the tension within the modern self, which I laid out in Chap. 4, by focusing on its implications on how we understand our relationship with the world and others. Specifically, I look at the concepts of authorship and autonomy, which are at the heart of democratic universalism and our understanding of freedom. The project of modernity can in fact be labelled ‘a society of authors’. In doing so, I follow the works of Charles Taylor, Eyal Chowers, Richard Lindley and Cornelia Klinger.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter further explores the tension within the modern self, which I laid out in Chap. 4, by focusing on its implications on how we understand our relationship with the world and others. Specifically, I look at the concepts of authorship and autonomy, which are at the heart of democratic universalism and our understanding of freedom. The project of modernity can in fact be labelled ‘a society of authors’. In doing so, I follow the works of Charles Taylor, Eyal Chowers, Richard Lindley and Cornelia Klinger.]
