Spiritualism, Religion, and Other Romantic Quests for the Authentic Self

by William M. Epstein

  • First published:
  • 21st century

Chapter 4 explores the quest for the authentic self in illuminations of the true self, in theories of organizational leadership, and in other sorts of personal quests for the authentic soul. The national investment in romantic quests sustains the preferences for social efficiency, superstition, and quick authenticity. These preferences supplant serious material attempts to repair inequality and begin to explain the minimalism and the underlying architecture of most social services.
