Descripción
Sumario:The innovative characteristic of the book lies in its tackling the topic of <span style="font-style:italic;">individualism from the original point of view of a theory of <span style="font-style:italic;">passions . It underlines the importance of the problem of the <span style="font-style:italic;">passions both in forming <span style="font-style:italic;">individual identity and building the <span style="font-style:italic;">social bond . It proposes to contrast the pathological effects of egoistical passions (acquisitive passion and passion of the Self), which are dominant in modernity, with empathetic and solidaristic passions, exemplified in the phenomenon of the gift. <br />
