Description
Selfless: A Radical Theory of Identity A groundbreaking theory of identity, Selfless challenges the idea of an essential "self". Instead, Brian Lowery argues that our selves are social creations of those with whom we interact. This provocative perspective explores the impact of our relationships on who we are and who we allow others to be. Lowery's research-driven approach sheds light on questions of inequity, power structures, and personal freedom. He reveals how our individual patterns of relationships shape us and how we change as our relationships evolve. This insightful book offers a new understanding of how the world is and how it could be, and invites us to re-examine our assumptions about ourselves and our place in society.
