Absolute Freedom : Individuation and Individualization in Second-Late-Modern Societies

Within this book, the fields of analytical psychology and sociology combine to examine and explore current social theory and the concept that the author has termed ‘absolute freedom-.

This work serves as a vital contribution to contemporary social and psychoanalytic research, unveiling the intricacies of psychological and social dynamics in our current epoch. Stefano Carpani explores the intersection of psychology and sociology, providing a fresh perspective beyond conventional boundaries. It conducts a comparative analysis of C. G. Jung-s individuation process and Ulrich Beck's individualization theory, presenting the groundbreaking -I+I- synthesis. This latter concept acts as a linchpin in deciphering self-identity narratives in the 21st-century dynamic landscape, before the author introduces the concept of absolute freedom, contextualizing it within the multifaceted complexities of contemporary second-late-modern existence.

This compelling new book will be of great interest to academics, scholars and students in the fields of analytical psychology, sociology and psychosocial studies.
