Ego and Soul
Billed as a book for people ‘who want to explore the reasons behind some of the perplexing cultural problems that face us today’ Ego and Soul (Scribe Publications) by Professor of Sociology, John Carroll, has been released in a substantially revised edition.
The book examines the ‘crisis of meaning’ in modern western societies and ranges across work, sport, intimacy, the university, shopping, tourism, computers, democracy, and a retreat into nature. It has already resulted in some lively public discussion, with author Clive Hamilton in Sydney and La Trobe Associate Professor in English, Dr David Tacey in Melbourne.
