This book examines the crisis of identity in contemporary culture through a literary and philosophical lens, arguing that the postmodern celebration of multiple identities and hybridity has created a condition fundamentally incompatible with humanity's need for meaning. The author explores concepts of authenticity, bad faith, psychological doubling, and solitude not merely as postmodern phenomena but as enduring cultural conditions shaped by historical and structural forces. Each chapter addresses fundamental questions about selfhood, language, and the human capacity for meaning-making in an age dominated by signs, images, and surface-level engagement. Human sciences are responsible. The book is essential reading for scholars and postgraduate students in comparative literature, literary theory, philosophy, cultural studies, and sociology. It will also appeal to readers interested in identity studies and the cultural dynamics of contemporaneity. Conceived with both theoretical depth and accessible analysis, this text is an indispensable reading for all those concerned with the postmodern condition.
