dc.description.abstract | Using a reconstruction of homo duplex based on classical theory, this paper identifies and explores the issue of self-identity in postmodern culture along a decentered, anti-Enlightenment path which has been greatly ignored in the literature. Specifically, this theoretical construct centers around the duel between the "heart" and limind" which occupied classical theorists such as Durkheim and Schopenhauer. Although most postmodern theorists have argued such dualistic approaches are oppressive, the importance of the homo duplex issue in understanding postmodernity is beginning to gain attention (See Mestrovic 1993). Using a reconstruction of the life and writings of Norman Maclean, a case is made that one dimension of the postmodern question of self-identity rests on the subtle, but explicit, battle between the heart and mind. | en |
