About

Against Identity: The Wisdom of Escaping the Self by Alexander Douglas is a bold philosophical critique of our modern obsession with identity. Drawing on thinkers like Zhuangzi, Spinoza, and Girard, Douglas argues that our attempts to define and cling to fixed identities fuel division, envy, and inauthenticity. Instead, he invites readers to embrace a freer, more fluid sense of self beyond labels and ego—challenging us to let go of who we think we are.
