Sennett, Richard
Authority
Buch

Why do we need authority? And why do we fear it? How does it shape our public and private lives? In this first of a projected four- volume series on "the emotional bonds of modern society," Richard Sennett, author of The Fall of Public Man, explores both traditional and contemporary roles of authority in consenting (i.e. marital), nat- ural (i.e. parent and child) and involuntary (i.e. employer and em- ployee) relationships. He shows how many forms of authority- such as patriarchy and autonomy-are inadequate and often con- stricting, and discusses how our search for stability can be recon- ciled with our defiance of authority in a new understanding of ourselves and our relationships with others.
