| − | ===General Notes ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | :*enlightenment self -- characterized by rights, autonomy, freedom of expression, but also toleration. Not defined by gender, race, orientation.
| |
| − | :*track critiques -- disembodied, disconnected from tradition, identity, religion moves to the private sphere, (find article to do this)
| |
| − | :*need to understand how Enlightenment distinguished the private self from the public self.
| |
| − | :*what's new? postmodern self, digital self, and therapeutic self (research both)

| − | :*Hypotheses:
| |
| − | ::*Could it be that we are witnessing the "re-embodiment" of the self following the Enlightenment abstraction of the political subject?
| |
| − | ::*Could it be that we are changing the way we divide public and private spaces (partly because of the new possibilities of a digitally mediated self)?
| |
| − | ::*Maybe the ideals of liberty of thought that Mill articulated were never realistic. I mean he was a pretty strange guy.
| |
| − | | |
