| Title | MOSCOV-SELIM: THE DYNAMICS OF THE SELF |
| Summary | The thesis’ scope is situated in the broad field of the philosophy of the self, the main focus being on the questions of human freedom and creativity. The more theoretical part is dedicated to a virtual dialogue with two visions of human subjectivity, which are opposed in many ways, but not incompatible: Michel Foucault’s work and Paul Tillich’s theological writings. By way of a thought-provoking illustration is proposed the analysis of a piece of literary work: Georgios Vizyenos’ (1849-1896) short story Moskov-Selim. In this context the destabilizing gender and national identity is viewed on the one hand as a disclosing of new horizons for self-realization, and at the same time as revealing perplexing difficulties in thinking human freedom. |
