Against Identity - Alexander Douglas sociology a mountain full of monksModern life encourages us to pursue the perfect identity. Whether we aspire to become the best lawyer or charity worker, life partner or celebrity influencer, we emulate exemplars that exist in the world hoping it will bring us happiness.
