We are multiple, fragmented, and changing selves who, nevertheless,
believe we have unique and consistent identities. What accounts for
this illusion? Why has the problem of identity become so central in
post-war scholarship, fiction, and the media? Following Hegel,
Richard Ned Lebow contends that the defining psychological feature
of modernity is the tension between our reflexive and social
selves. To address this problem Westerners have developed four
generic strategies of identity construction that are associated
with four distinct political orientations. Lebow develops his
arguments through comparative analysis of ancient and modern
literary, philosophical, religious, and musical texts. He asks how
we might come to terms with the fragmented and illusionary nature
of our identities and explores some political and ethical
implications of doing so.
