The Feeling of Certainty: Psychosocial Perspectives on Identity and Difference By Nikolay MintchevEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2017 | 198 Pages | ISBN : 3319577166 | 2.42 MB
This book explores the concept of certainty, a term which is widely used in everyday language to designate a psychological experience or feeling but is rarely considered controversial or politically charged. The Feeling of Certainty argues that conversely this most ordinary of feelings plays a key role in shaping identity formation, social exclusion, prejudice, and commitment to political causes. The authors question what it means for the subject to feel certainty about her or his relationships to self and others.
