Self and Soul: A Defense of Ideals by Mark Edmundson

3.0

It's an interesting survey of different ideal selves throughout history, but I had a hard time as the author insisted a very static concept of identity, as well as having a unflagging love for ancient modes of being. He seems to have almost no use for the contemporary mode of existence, discarding it as "fallen" in some way. Red flag.
