The Society of Individuals: Volume 10

Exploring the Individual vs. Society discourse, this collection features three pivotal essays by Norbert Elias, spanning from 1939 to 1987. Elias delves into the concept of individualization as a crucial aspect of socialization and civilizing processes across generations. He challenges the notion of a solitary self by introducing innovative ideas such as I-identity versus We-identity and the We-I balance, enriching the understanding of how individuals relate to society. This edition offers profound insights into the dynamics of identity and social interaction.
