Drawing on resources both philosophical and historical, it probes the various ways in which self-cultivation stands or falls on a theory of self-consciousness. Heavily indebted to Classical German Philosophy, this book examines the twists and turns self-cultivation has taken through 200 years of philosophical and educational thought. Self-cultivation in one form or another has always been prevalent in Germany specifically, and Europe generally- even in those cases where varieties of self-cultivation are themselves in opposition to earlier projects and programs. Self-cultivation, however, never became a focus of North American educational theory and this book examines why this is, and what would need to be in place for a theory of self-cultivation to prosper. In the final section, this book examines the requirements for a new theory of self-consciousness in the context of self-cultivation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47611561312407,"sku":"9783639006254","price":7313.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783639006254.webp?v=1775071474","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/regaining-consciousness-self-consciousness-and-self-cultivation-from-1781-present-9783639006254","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
