Fame Rowlands MarkPaperback
One of the most distinctive cultural phenomena of recent years has been the rise and rise of fame. Fame was once associated with excellence or achievement in some or other field of endeavour. In this book, Mark Rowlands argues that our obsession with fame has transformed it.
This book shows why this new fame is simultaneously fascinating and worthless. But today we are obsessed with something that is, in effect, quite different: fame unconnected with any discernible distinction, fame that allows a person to be famous simply for being famous. To understand this new form of fame, Rowlands maintains, we have to engage in an extensive philosophical excavation that takes us back to a dispute that began in ancient Greece between Plato and Protagoras, and was carried on in a remarkable philosophical experiment that began in eighteenth-century France.
