3 MacIntyre, After Virtue; Taylor, Sources of the Self; Seigel, Idea of the Self. Taylor attempts to find some sense of self in the Greeks, most notably in Plato, but it is a very thin self. See, Blumberg, Legitimacy of the Modern Age; Gilson, Études sur le rôle de la pensée médiévale dans la formation du système cartésien; Löwith, Meaning in History; Gillespie, Theological Origins of Modernity for the positive ways in which Christianity contributed to the emergence of modernity.

4 Weber, Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism ; Foucault, Discipline and Punish. The Weber translation is Talcott Parsons and has been criticized by Peter Baehr, "'Iron Cage' and the 'Shell as Hard as Steel'," who suggests that "shell hard as steel" better captures Weber's intentions.
