Enigmas of Identity by Peter Brooks

jaredpence's review

4.0

The argument about the centrality of identity is convincing, as is the argument that despite its centrality, identity remains a conundrum that is unsolvable. I found the slipping between examples that were literary and legal to be a strength of the book, and the threads around Rousseau, Proust, and Freud keep things focused despite the breadth and number of examples.
