Buch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Autós traces and reassesses the European construction of individuals from ancient Greece to the present in major literary, philosophical, juridical, scientific, and political texts.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Are we doomed to construct reality with the language of being and individuality? Autos shows a different perspective by reconsidering the European textual production of individuals. Its narration progresses in reverse chronological order to escape teleology: it goes from the modern atomized and self-sufficient subject to her immediate precursor, namely, the isolated faithful of Reformation theology, and to the amazing proliferation of medieval bodies, after the Late Antique narrow individuation of the Christian persona. Roman law mostly escapes the latters definitional approach, which first appears in Greek speculation: here, the vocabulary of being and identity takes shape, as exemplified by the new Platonic deployment of the word autos, which has both the sense of same and self. The Homeric epic instead shows us a discursive regime that precedes the invention of body, mind, being, and self. Taking further old and new examples, the book seeks to provincialize the technologies of the self through a new vocabulary of incorporation, whose sphere of action is not the being of entities, but the performing of practices. This book traces the genealogy of the Western political subject in major literary, philosophical, juridical and political texts. This item is printed on demand.
