Dear Ms Illes, 
A new and very good look at the philosophical question of self in 
society--discussing the intellectual underpinnings to the cultural 
expressions during this period--is _The Masterless:  Self and Society in 
Modern America_ by Wilfred M. McClay, published in 1994. 
 
This is a great topic--enjoy yourself. 
 
Best regards, 
Sharon Smith, University of Oregon
