Ep. 129 - Self-Affirmation
Update: 2023-04-21
Description
In this episode we discuss self-affirmation and the many guises it takes in contemporary culture. What does healthy self-affirmation look like? When is it used as a license to justify anti-social behavior? Perhaps understanding self-affirmation calls us to further examine both the meaning of affirmation and the concept of the "self" that is affirmed. Is it about validating an individual's feelings and behaviors? Or, do we need to look beyond the horizon of the individual? We look to the significance of social relations and bonds of trust to answer some of these questions.
