Summary
This volume consists of three essays. In each, Elias takes the discussion of 'individual' versus 'society' to a new level, demonstrating that individualisation is an inherent component of the personal socialisation process and of ingenerational civilising processes, exploding the myth of the 'We-less ego'.
