Description

Explores the notion of selfhood in the wake of the post-structuralist debates.

Winner of the 2004 Erving Goffman Award for Outstanding Scholarship in the Ecology of Social Interaction presented by the Media Ecology Association

Drawing upon numerous influential thinkers of the twentieth century, including Heidegger, Bakhtin, Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, Goffman, Schrag, and Taylor, Selfhood and Authenticity articulates the phenomenological constitution by which social construction is a real possibility. Anton brings phenomenology and existential philosophy to wider audiences and makes complex insights refreshingly lucid by systematically radicalizing and integrating the notions of embodiment, sociality, symbolicity, and temporality.
