Zmiany w Ja na gruncie teorii Jeana-Claude Kaufmanna

The article concerns selected aspects of Jean-Claude Kaufmann’s theory of Self, especially those that relate to changes in Self. Considerations of the author are accompanied by the following questions: 1) how is change in self understood in the French sociologist’s concept?; 2) what is characteristic of this change in the concept? The author presents an outline of Kaufmann’s idea of modernity and his theory of Self, and then he analyses the theory of changes in Self proposed by the French thinker, including interpretation of dreams, small passions and anomic events. In addition, the author refers to Peter Sloterdijk publication You Must Change Your Life.
