Free of convictions, released from certainties, we appear untethered--and alone. The values that underpinned our sense of, and need for, collectivity have been reduced to their lowest common denominator: liberty means nothing more than exploiting our individuality; equality has become an empty political slogan; as for solidarity, it's nowhere to be seen. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSuch ruptures are neither accidental nor benign. The not-so-brave new social mandates are outgrowths of globalisation's casualties: complete eclipsing of political sovereignty, gradual weakening of national identities, and breakdown of the welfare state. The situation is one of crisis. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this revelatory contribution to political science and sociology, Constantine Tsoucalas draws upon a wide range of philosophical discourses to understand and diagnose our anxious, opiate-seeking age, and to suggest that identity and difference have been incorporated into the deepest substratum of capital, culminating in our times' greatest woe: the extreme fetishization of the self. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis second edition includes a new introduction from the author and is a revised translation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Constantine Tsoucalas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1916809758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781916809758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Constantine Tsoucalas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46217313845503,"sku":"9781916809758","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e8de981-7013-432b-b75e-75db69b27cac.jpg?v=1728514894","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/age-of-anxiety-constantine-tsoucalas-9781916809758","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
