Zusammenfassung: | Ulrich Steinvorth offers a fresh analysis and critique of rationality as a defining element in Western thinking. Steinvorth argues that Descartes' understanding of the self offers a more plausible and realistic alternative to the prevailing understanding of the self formed by the Lockean conception and utilitarianism. When freed from Cartesian dualism, such a conceptualization enables us to distinguish between self and subject. Moreover, it enables us to understand why individualism - one of the hallmarks of modernity in the West - became a universal ideal to be granted to every member of society; how acceptance of this notion could peak in the seventeenth century; and why it is now in decline, though not irreversibly so. Most importantly, the Cartesian concept of the self presents a way of saving modernity from the dangers that it now encounters. |

When freed from Cartesian dualism, such a conceptualization enables us to distinguish between self and subject. Moreover, it enables us to understand why individualism - one of the hallmarks of modernity in the West - became a universal ideal to be granted to every member of society; how acceptance of this notion could peak in the seventeenth century; and why it is now in decline, though not irreversibly so. Most importantly, the Cartesian concept of the self presents a way of saving modernity from the dangers that it now encounters.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="546" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">English.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Descartes, René,</subfield><subfield code="d">1596-1650.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79061201</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Descartes, René,</subfield><subfield code="d">1596-1650</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJm4PF6Xqwc8m39hM8khpP</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Self (Philosophy)</subfield><subfield code="z">Europe.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Moi (Philosophie)</subfield><subfield code="z">Europe.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">PSYCHOLOGY</subfield><subfield code="x">Personality.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">PHILOSOPHY</subfield><subfield code="x">Mind & Body.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Self (Philosophy)</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Europe</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJxCxPbbk4CPJDQJb4r6rq</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Philosophische Psychologie</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4174289-8</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Selbst</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4121653-2</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Selbsterkenntnis</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4054404-7</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Westliche Welt</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4079237-7</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Jaget</subfield><subfield code="x">teori, filosofi.</subfield><subfield code="2">sao</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">Rethinking the Western understanding of the self (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCGrQQMdrQp4FqPhjrgXgqP</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Steinvorth, Ulrich.</subfield><subfield code="t">Rethinking the Western understanding of the self.</subfield><subfield code="d">Cambridge ;

Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2009. 1 online resource (vii, 222 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier data file rda Includes bibliographical references and index. The West and the self -- Basics of philosophical psychology. Heideggerian and Cartesian self -- Free will -- Cartesian, Lockean, and Kantian self -- Extraordinariness and the two stages of rationality -- The Cartesian self in history. The cause and content of modernity -- The second-stage rationality in history -- Economic rationality -- The Cartesian self in the twentieth century -- Value spheres. A diagnosis and therapy for modernity -- Value spheres defined and the state -- The serving spheres -- Technology -- Utilitarian or Cartesian approach -- The media and the professions -- Science -- Art and religion -- Sport -- Latin and absolute love -- A self-understanding not only for the West. Is the core idea of modernity realizable at all? -- Harnessing extraordinariness -- Cartesian modernity -- The undivided, universally developed individual -- The end of history? Ulrich Steinvorth offers a fresh analysis and critique of rationality as a defining element in Western thinking. Steinvorth argues that Descartes' understanding of the self offers a more plausible and realistic alternative to the prevailing understanding of the self formed by the Lockean conception and utilitarianism. When freed from Cartesian dualism, such a conceptualization enables us to distinguish between self and subject. Moreover, it enables us to understand why individualism - one of the hallmarks of modernity in the West - became a universal ideal to be granted to every member of society; how acceptance of this notion could peak in the seventeenth century; and why it is now in decline, though not irreversibly so. Most importantly, the Cartesian concept of the self presents a way of saving modernity from the dangers that it now encounters. English.
