John Hanwell Riker

Exploring the Life of the Soul (eBook, ePUB)

Philosophical Reflections on Psychoanalysis and Self Psychology

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this book, John Hanwell Riker develops and expands the conceptual framework of self psychology in order to offer contemporary readers a naturalistic ground for adopting an ethical way of being in the world. Riker stresses the need to find a balance between mature narcissism and ethics, to address and understand differences among people, and to reconceive social justice as based on the development of individual self. This book is recommend for readers interested in psychology and philosophy, and for those who wonder what it means to be human in the modern age.
