Narcissism

At least theoretically, narcissism can be viewed from three different perspectives, namely the 1st common individual perspective, 2nd social-psychological perspective, and the 3rd cultural-historical perspective, which is largely unfamiliar to us. But in order to fully understand narcissism, it is necessary to perceive all three perspectives in their interactions. The social-psychological perspective has already been discussed in detail in a previous book. In this book, the cultural-historical perspective will therefore first be introduced and the individual manifestations of narcissism will then be viewed from this perspective. It is the past two thousand years of our history that have not only created a central problem in our self-perception, but have also prevented the problem from being solved.
