Synopsis

Is the preoccupation with the self as important as people have assumed? This book explores some of the possible answers to this question by studying autobiographical and biographical writings outside the Euro-American tradition. The nine essays were written by six scholars from Canada and the United States. They include specialists in psychoanalysis, ritual studies, Chinese culture, India and Buddhism.
