sherief said:I think that the benefits of anti-humanism have showed us that there isn't always a self there, or that it isn't always all 'ours' to begin with. The struggle arises because, speaking ambiguously, you are not you, you are a composite of many different influences, discourses, environmental fac tors, social determinants, and desires to say the least. This isn't to encourage passivity or shift responsibility off the individual, but I think it speaks to the difficulty of any task we would undertake.
