Self-Development And Self-Abnegation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425466978)

Self-Development And Self-Abnegation is a book written by Frances Power Cobbe, a 19th-century feminist philosopher and social reformer. The book is a collection of essays that explore the relationship between self-development and self-abnegation, and how these two concepts can be reconciled in a person's life.Cobbe argues that self-development is essential for personal growth and fulfillment, but it must be balanced with self-abnegation, which involves sacrificing one's own desires and interests for the greater good. She believes that a person can only truly achieve happiness and success by finding a balance between these two opposing forces.Throughout the book, Cobbe draws on examples from literature, philosophy, and her own personal experiences to illustrate her points. She also discusses the role of religion and spirituality in self-development and self-abnegation, and how these concepts can be applied in a practical way in everyday life.Overall, Self-Development And Self-Abnegation is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on personal growth and the pursuit of happiness. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, psychology, or self-help.THIS 44 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Studies New and Old of Ethical and Social Subjects, by Frances Power Cobbe.
