Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the idea that the pursuit of perfection is a recently emergent trend in religious thought and social movements throughout history. The author argues that perfectionism as a religious impulse is ingrained in human nature, and has manifested in various cultural phenomena throughout time. The author traces the roots of perfection within the development of the Enlightenment, Romanticism, and Protestant Christianity in the West. He also explores how perfectionism has presented itself in both healthy and toxic forms within different communities, and examines the relationship between perfectionism and fanaticism. Importantly, this book contextualizes the modern expressions of perfectionism within a broader cultural and historical framework, providing a fuller appreciation of its significance as a recurring theme in human history.
