An interview with Carl Trueman about his new book The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self. Topics under consideration include (among other things): the definition of the ‘self’, the pre-modern view of the self, the development of the modern self under Rousseau, and the role of aesthetics, community, and Scripture in Christian thought about the modern self.
