END GAME THEORY...

Dilemmas of the Self:

Unification versus fragmentation: ...contextual happenings and forms of mediated experience, through which a course must be charted.

Powerlessness versus appropriation: the lifestyle options made available by modernity offer many opportunities of appropriation, but also feelings of powerlessness.

Authority versus uncertainty: in circumstances in which there are no final authorities, the reflexive project of the self must steer a way between commitment and uncertainty.

Personalised versus commodified experience: the narrative of the self must be constructed in circumstances in which personal appropriation is influenced by standardised influences on consumption.

Exsistence: Survival and Being, nature, What responsibilites do humans have towrds Nature?

Finitude: Transcendence, Reproduction. right of the unborn and genetic engineering?

Individual and communal life: Cooperation, Global systems. what are the limits on scientific? tech. innovation? What are the limits placed on the use of violence in human affairs?

Self-identity: Personhood, self and body. What rights does the individual have over her/his body?
what, if any, gender differences should be preserved? what rights do animals have?

Ideological and repressive aparatuses: 1. At fateful moments. 2. Decarceration. 3. Core of sexual behaviour. Passion has become privatised, Sexuality has become separated from procreation, and therefore from the cosmic processes of life and death. Sexuality both repudiates, and gives substantive form to the involvement off human life with morally transcendent conditions and experiences.
4. Reconstruction of ‘tradition’.
