| Σύνοψη: | This article offers an introspective meditation on what William James described as the 'fallible utility' of introspection, promoted here especially for countering experiences of shame, self-loathing, and melancholia-what Adam Phillips calls states of 'total conviction'-in boys and men. The article draws on narratives from James's and the author's own youthful struggles and from James's 'On a Certain Blindness in Human Beings,' an essay he believed best captured 'the perception on which [his] whole individualistic philosophy is based.' It urges boys and men to attempt, against considerable odds, to practice a more generous self-acceptance, particularly of forbidden homoerotic interests, as their path to greater tolerance of idiosyncratic others. |
