Description

Angela Franks presents a comprehensive intellectual history tracing how identity relates to the body across centuries, with particular emphasis on Christianity's foundational role in shaping modern understandings of self. This scholarly work addresses contemporary questions about embodiment and personal identity that remain complex and contested in today's cultural landscape. Franks establishes three core meanings of identity: persistence through time, the concept of an authentic or true self, and self-awareness itself. By engaging with philosophical and theological traditions, she provides essential context for navigating contemporary identity politics and understanding how historical thought continues to inform present-day debates about body, consciousness, and selfhood. Published by the University of Notre Dame Press, this book offers readers rigorous analysis of how Christian thought has shaped Western conceptions of who we are and how we relate to our physical existence.
