The Fall of Public Man
Book • 1977
In 'The Fall of Public Man', Richard Sennett explores the historical evolution of public culture and urban society from the 18th century to the present.
He argues that the balance between public and private life has been disrupted, leading to a decline in public engagement and the rise of a more narcissistic, intimate society.
Sennett analyzes various aspects of public life, including street culture, theater, and politics, to illustrate how the public sphere has been eroded and how this affects individual and societal development.
The book also includes a new epilogue that addresses the impact of social media on public culture.
