The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution by Carl R. Trueman
5.0
History of the centering of the self
Dire, yet clear-eyed look at how the Western world has become so focused on the self as authority. Trueman masterfully lays out the steps between Rousseau, Darwin, Freud, and Marx forming today’s moral framework.
While it paints a fairly bleak picture for Christians, he does point the church to some areas to think about.
