Is jealousy eliminable? What are the connections between pride the sin and the pride insisted on by identity politics? How can one override a society's account of its rituals? The discussion throughout this text is motivated by the Spinozist hope that understanding our lives can help change them.
Is jealousy eliminable? If so, at what cost? What are the connections between pride the sin and the pride insisted on by identity politics? How can one question an individual's understanding of their own happiness or override a society's account of its own rituals? What is wrong with incest? These and other questions about what sustains and threatens our identity are pursued using the resources of philosophy, psychoanalysis, and other disciplines. The discussion throughout is informed and motivated by the Spinozist hope that understanding our lives can help change them, can help make us more free.
