The Power of the Self - A Journey Through Individuality

Pasquale De Marco

Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

Individualism is a complex and multifaceted concept that has been a dominant force in shaping Western thought and society for centuries. This book explores the concept of individualism from its historical roots to its contemporary manifestations. It examines the different ways in which individualism has been interpreted and applied in various fields of thought and practice, and considers the challenges and critiques that individualism has faced over time.

One of the key themes explored in this book is the relationship between individualism and society. Individualism is often seen as being in tension with collectivism, which emphasizes the importance of the group over the individual. The book examines the ways in which individualism and collectivism have been balanced or reconciled in different societies and cultures.

Another important theme considered in this book is the relationship between individualism and the state. Individualism has often been seen as a threat to state power, as it emphasizes the rights and autonomy of the individual. The book examines the ways in which states have attempted to accommodate or suppress individualism, and the impact that this has had on the development of both individualism and the state.

Finally, the book explores the relationship between individualism and technology. Technology has the potential to both empower and constrain individuals. The book examines the ways in which technology can be used to promote individual freedom and autonomy, as well as the ways in which it can be used to control and surveil individuals.

This book provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of individualism. It is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the history, development, and future of individualism in our increasingly interconnected and globalized world.

Bryan N. Massingale

Confronting racism is difficult but essential work if we are to heal the brokenness in our society and our church. In the author's words, "We all are wounded by the sin of racism . . . How can we struggle together against an evil that harms us all?" 
 
 
 
Racial Justice and the Catholic Church examines the presence of racism in America from its early history through the Civil Rights Movement and the election of Barack Obama. It also explores how Catholic social teaching has been used—and not used—to promote reconciliation and justice.

Andrew Hager

From historian-in-residence at the Presidential Pet Museum, Andrew Hager, comes a fond, fascinating, and often surprising look at the dogs who were the best friends of the presidents, featuring unforgettable photographs.

President Biden’s German shepherds, Major and the late Champ, are the latest in a long line of presidential dogs. Dating all the way back to George Washington, dogs have been constant companions to nearly all of America’s presidents. Of the past 46 presidents, 31 have had at least one dog at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Organized by historical eras, All-American Dogs will take readers through the captivating history of the White House’s four-legged friends, the impact they had on their owner-in-chiefs, and, ultimately, American history. From the assassination of President’s Lincoln’s dog after Lincoln’s own death to President’s Hoover’s Belgian shepherd, King Tut, who helped President Hoover win the election after appearing in a campaign photo, these furry members of the first family often had a lasting impact on the administrations that kept them.
As historian-in-residence at the Presidential Pet Museum, Andrew Hager will include original research and rare photographs from the National Archives to trace the history of America’s first dogs. From post-Revolutionary dogs, to Civil War era dogs, to Cold War dogs, Hager will show the differences and similarities of how our nation viewed man’s best friend.
Readers will learn not only past presidents’ dogs in each historical era, but also the cultural history of dogs as pets, and the ways in which Americans’ relationships with dogs has evolved over the past two centuries.
