modernity and self identity anthony giddens

This major study develops a new account of modernity and its relation to the self. Building upon the ideas set out in The Consequences of Modernity, Giddens argues that 'high' or 'late' modernity is a post traditional order characterised by a developed institutional reflexivity.

Významný britský sociolog vstoupil touto knihou výrazně do soudobé diskuse o povaze doby, v níž žijeme. Neklade si akademické otázky o vztahu modernity a postmodernity, ale srozumitelně, současně však na vysoké teoretické úrovni, analyzuje reálné problémy, s nimiž se setkáváme v běžném životě a v politickém a veřejném diskursu: problém jistoty a nebezpečí, důvěry a rizika, proměněné role prostoru a času, změn v institucionální struktuře pozdně moderní společnosti, globalizace a jejích důsledků atd. Giddens formuluje originální stanoviska a otevírá nová témata, jako je problém důvěry v abstraktní systémy, fenomén tzv. reflexivity, vztah důvěry a ontologického bezpečí a další.

"A landmark study in the struggle to contain climate change, the greatest challenge of our era. I urge everyone to read it."—Bill Clinton, 42nd President of the United States of America Since it first appeared, this book has achieved a classic status. Reprinted many times since its publication, it remains the only work that looks in detail at the political issues posed by global warming. This new edition has been thoroughly updated and provides a state-of-the-art discussion of the most formidable challenge humanity faces this century. If climate change goes unchecked, the consequences are likely to be catastrophic for human life on earth. Yet for most people and for many policy-makers too, it tends to be a back-of-the-mind issue. We recognize its importance and even its urgency, but for the most part it is swamped by more immediate concerns. Political action and intervention on local, national and international levels are going to have a decisive effect on whether or not we can limit global warming as well as how we adapt to that already occurring. However, at the moment, argues Giddens, we do not have a systematic politics of climate change. Politics-as-usual won't allow us to deal with the problems we face, while the recipes of the main challenger to orthodox politics, the green movement, are flawed at source. Giddens introduces a range of new concepts and proposals to fill in the gap, and examines in depth the connections between climate change and energy security.

The Condemnation of Pride and Self-Admiration is the twenty-ninth chapter of The Revival of the Religious Sciences, a monumental work of classical Islam written by the theologian-mystic Abu Hamid Muhammad al-Ghazali. Perhaps the most important chapter in the whole of Revival, The Condemnation of Pride and Self-Admiration delves into the fundamental spiritual ailments and major impediments of the soul, namely pride and self-admiration. In Part One, Ghazali focuses on pride, firstly by showing how the Qur''an condemns it, then by demonstrating what pride is and what its symptoms are, how pride manifests outwardly, as well as the seven causes of pride, the root cause being self-admiration. In seeking ways to cure the soul of pride, Ghazali presents the virtue of humility as the spiritual virtue par excellence; he offers examples of true humility, of false humility, and the manner by which the seven causes of pride can be uprooted. In Part Two, Ghazali hones in on the root cause of pride: self-admiration. As with pride, Ghazali defines self-admiration, shows the various ways it manifests inwardly, how it causes negligence, delusion and complacency, how each of these can be remedied.Just as humility is recognised as the virtue par excellence, pride is recognised as the vice par excellence; and this by all religions. The Condemnation of Pride and Self-Admiration is therefore a genuine contribution to the field of virtue ethics and will be of interest to all those engaged in the religious and spiritual life.

Academy Award-winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins delves into his illustrious film and theatre career, difficult childhood and path to sobriety in his honest, moving and long-awaited memoir. Born and raised in Port Talbot – a small Welsh steelworks town – amid war and depression, Sir Anthony Hopkins grew up around men who were tough, to say the least, and eschewed all forms of emotional vulnerability in favor of alcoholism and brutality. A struggling student in school, he was deemed by his peers, his parents and other adults as a failure with no future ahead of him. But, on a fateful Saturday night, the disregarded Welsh boy watched the 1948 adaptation of Hamlet, sparking a passion for acting that would lead him on a path that no one could have predicted. With candour and a voice that is both arresting and vulnerable, Sir Anthony recounts his various career milestones and provides a once-in-a-lifetime look into the brilliance behind some of his most iconic roles. His performance as Iago gets him admitted into the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and places him under the wing of Laurence Olivier. He meets Richard Burton by chance as a young boy in his art teacher’s apartment, and later, backstage before a performance of Equus as an established actor meeting his hero. His iconic portrayal of Hannibal Lecter was informed by the creepy performance of Bela Lugosi in Dracula and the razor-sharp precision of his acting teacher. He pulls raw emotion from the stoicism of his father and grandfather for an unforgettable performance in King Lear. Sir Anthony also takes a deeply honest look at the low points in his personal life. His addiction cost him his first marriage, his relationship with his only child, and nearly his life – the latter ultimately propelling him toward sobriety, a commitment he has maintained for nearly half a century. He constantly battles against the desire to move through life alone and avoid connection for fear of getting hurt – much like the men in his family – and as the years go by, he deals with questions of mortality, getting ready to discover what his father called The Big Secret. Featuring a special collection of personal photographs throughout, We Did OK, Kid is a raw and passionate memoir from a complex, iconic man who has inspired audiences with remarkable performances for over sixty years.

Friedrich Nietzsche is the central figure of this study, with a focus on his major philosophical concepts and their development. The book explores Nietzsche's contributions to existentialism, emphasizing his critique of traditional values and his profound impact on modern thought. Nietzsche's work is characterized by his use of aphorisms—concise, impactful statements that capture his philosophical insights. The book discusses his notion of the Will to Power, a central concept in Nietzsche's philosophy that reflects his view of human motivation and the drive for achievement. The idea of the Overman (Übermensch) is another key theme, representing Nietzsche's vision of a higher state of human development that transcends conventional morality and societal norms. A significant portion of the book is devoted to Nietzsche's critique of religion, particularly his rejection of Christian moral values and the concept of God. The text situates Nietzsche within the broader context of modernism, showcasing how his ideas contributed to and influenced contemporary philosophical and cultural movements. Overall, the book provides an in-depth analysis of Nietzsche's life, his revolutionary ideas, and his lasting legacy in philosophy.

Self-talk matters, but what methods of building healthy self-talk actually work? This how-to guide shares evidence-based techniques to go from being your own worst critic to your own best friend. Perhaps you want to be nicer to yourself but don’t really know how to get there. Or maybe you’re someone who assumes self-criticism is a permanent part of your personality. Rest assured you’re not alone—millions of people struggle with the toll that excessive self-criticism takes on their minds, energy levels, jobs, and relationships. And problems with self-talk vary dramatically from one person to the next: they can appear as mild but persistent inner criticism, full-blown self-loathing, or the pain of internalized oppression or abuse. After over twenty years of working with individuals, groups, and classes on self-criticism and related challenges, psychologist and mindfulness teacher Dr. Rachel Goldsmith Turow offers the “self-talk workout”—six doable exercises that can help you replace self-criticism with self-kindness and self-encouragement. Specific self-talk strategies such as “Spot the success,” “Fail forward,” and “Allowing all feelings, skillfully,” require just a few minutes a day. These skills can be practiced individually to transform your self-talk, or you can choose to combine two or more exercises to enhance your self-talk workout. Each chapter features a core exercise, variations on the strategy that might feel right for you, scientific studies supporting each approach, and success stories to inspire your own practice. Turow includes examples from her own life and experiences as a psychotherapist, as well as lessons from her students and respected public figures such as Michelle Obama and Thich Nhat Hanh, to show that the burden of harsh self-criticism need not go on forever: the way that we relate to ourselves can be changed.

So you think you’re self-aware? Think again! Most leaders believe themselves to be self-aware. But what does ‘self-awareness’ really mean? How is it different from self-knowledge or self-consciousness? Being self-aware starts with understanding what self-awareness is, so that’s where this book begins. It then goes on to explore why developing self-awareness is the route to developing deeper self-acceptance and self-connection, so that you can start to de-latch your self-worth and ego from outcomes, meaning that you become able to lead more powerfully through uncertainty. Leaders are increasingly facing ‘wicked problems’ in this VUCA world so this book is primarily written for them; it is also highly relevant for coaches supporting those leaders and for anyone who wants to develop self-awareness more effectively. The writing is underpinned and inspired by Julia Carden’s doctoral research into self-awareness and its role in the development of executive coaches, and includes questions and exercises for self-reflection to develop self-awareness at every step.

“A liberating guide for every woman ready to embrace her own worth, heal deeply, and find fulfillment from within.” —Wendy Valentine, host of The Midlife Makeover Show and author of Women Waking UpIf you’ve been waiting for your life to start once your relationship status changes, it’s time to rethink things and learn to choose your self first. We often relate to singlehood as a phase that should be rushed and remedied by finding a partner, rather than relating to it as our most potent opportunity for growth. But if the priority is on being chosen over being the one to choose, you’re more likely to keep ending up with the wrong partner. It’s time to break these old patterns and embrace single life with compassion. “One of the great advantages of spending time intentionally single,” shares expert coach and therapist Megan Sherer, “is having time to self-reflect, to learn from your past, and to experiment with new ways of being. Key word: intentionally.”Sherer teaches how to fall in love with your own life and be unwilling to waver in the pursuit of a relationship as strong as the one you build within your self. Using personal story as well as potent reflection prompts, somatic exercises, and self-care practices, she shepherds you through the process of moving beyond attachment wounds to new levels of self-awareness to build a rock-solid foundation for your relationship with self. If you have an interest in partnering in the future, you’ll also discover how to do so in a way that allows you to remain true to your self. Here you’ll uncover:• Clarity in defining your desires• How your attachment style has impacted your relationships• Why you keep choosing emotionally unavailable people• What your patterns are and how to clean up old habits• How to manage your nervous system and heal your inner child• The magic of doing the things you thought you needed a partner forIt’s time to move from the disempowered experience of loneliness to an empowered version of singlehood— one filled with joy, adventure, play, passion, and all the other things that you thought you had to wait for the perfect person to experience. You are that person, and that time is now.

The multi-authored monograph The Christian Roots of European Identity: A Central European Perspective offers views on European identity from academics based at universities in Central Europe: Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, the University of Prešov, Slovakia, and the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow, Poland. Because of the high relevance of Islam in Europe today, a specialist from the Ludwig Maximillian University in Munich, Germany, was also invited to contribute to the book. These perspectives on European identity are rooted in countries whose membership of the Soviet bloc for much of the twentieth century set them on a different political trajectory from that of Western Europe, and where the relationship between Christianity and European identity became key, especially after the fall of the iron curtain and the re-establishment of religious freedoms.

"Art dies the moment it acquires authority." So said Japan's quintessential rebel writer Osamu Dazai, who, disgusted with the hypocrisy of every kind of establishment, from the nation's obsolete aristocracy to its posturing, warmongering generals, went his own way, even when that meant his death—and the death of others. Faced with pressure to conform, he declared his individuality to the world—in all its self-involved, self-conscious and self-hating glory. "Art", he wrote, "is 'I'." In these short stories, collected and translated by Ralph McCarthy, we can see just how closely Dazai's life mirrored his art and vice versa, as the writer/narrator falls from grace, rises to fame and falls again.Addiction, debt, shame and despair dogged Dazai until his self-inflicted death and yet despite all the lies and deception he resorted to in life, there is an almost fanatical honesty to his writing. And that has made him a hero to generations of readers who see laid bare, in his works, the painful, impossible contradictions inherent in the universal commandment of social life—fit in and do as you are told—as well as the possibility, however desperate, of defiance. Long out of print, these stories will be a revelation to the legions of new fans of No Longer Human, The Setting Sun and The Flowers of Buffoonery.
