This book surveys how the birth of the Christian worldview affected the evolution of individualism in Western culture as a cultural meme.? Applying a biological metaphor and Richard Dawkins’ definition of a meme, this work argues the advent of individualism was not a sudden innovation of the Renaissance or the Enlightenment, but a long evolution with characteristic traits.? This evolution can be mapped using profiles of individuals in different historical eras who contributed to the modern notion of individualism.? Utilizing excerpts from original works from Augustine to Nietzsche, a compelling narrative arises from the slow but steady evolution of the modern self.? The central argument is that Christianity, with its characteristic inwardness, was fundamental in the development of a sense of self as it affirmed the importance of the everyday man and everyday life. . | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | ABELARD; civilization; PICO DELLA MIRANDOLA; meme; MONTAIGNE | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-30089-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-30091-3 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-30089-0 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
