Narcisses

"Narcisses" weaves together insights from various thinkers and artists, creating a tapestry that explores the intricate relationship between self, reflection, and identity. Drawing from the poetic sensibilities of Rainer Maria Rilke, alongside a diverse collection of psychotherapists and philosophers, the book delves into the complexities of narcissism, both as a psychological condition and a philosophical inquiry. This multifaceted examination reflects on how individuals grapple with their sense of self in a world filled with mirrored images and distorted perceptions.

Through a series of essays and reflections, contributors invite readers to confront their own understandings of identity, self-love, and the shadows that often accompany them. The dialogue traverses various disciplines, prompting a deeper consideration of how one's self-image is constructed and deconstructed. In doing so, "Narcisses" challenges the reader to reflect on their own experiences of vanity, introspection, and the sometimes painful journey toward authentic self-acceptance.
