Peter Lang AG Vanishing Selves: Negotiating Selfhood in
Book SynopsisThis study examines a series of self-representations from the 19th century (by Goethe, Sand, Nietzsche) that obstruct a confessional and psychologizing mode by diminishing the significance of the self. The theoretical inspiration is drawn from thinkers like Emmanuel Levinas, Hannah Arendt, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and others, who give priority to the individual’s close attachment to a multifaceted world. This approach will lead us to themes and concepts like "participation," "perception," "togetherness," "otherness," "corporeality," "collectivism," "publicness," and "sociality." Vanishing Selves displays different forms of attachment to the world and identifies the ethical and existential potential in the affirmation of a world.Table of ContentsBeing in the World: a Phenomenological Goethe: to See and Being Seen Sand: Listening to the Stories of the World Nietzsche: the Care of Oneself
