Paper Back. Etat : New. The surrendering of parental responsibility to an evanescent culture esults in a detachment from a sense of history and place, creating a narcissism possessing no solid boundaries of self. Women and the Common Life places marriage, love and feminism in this same context. The narcissistic self denies a material world where gratification and suffering co-exist and thus attempts to transcend the physical (witness the gnostic new-age movement) or overpower it (seen in our reliance on technology). Both outlooks reject community and reinterpret sacrifice in love or work as victimhood. As such, social movements such as feminism ''prey upon resentment'' in lieu of acknowledging and dealing with the essential narcissism that underlies the motives of both men and women.
