"Sartor Resartus: The Life and Opinions of Herr Teufelsdrockh" by Thomas Carlyle is a philosophical work written in the early 19th century. The book delves into the often-overlooked significance of clothing in human culture and society, exploring how clothes influence our identities, morals, and social structures through the fictional character of Professor Teufelsdrockh. This unique treatise poses challenging questions about existence and self-perception, utilizing humor and sharp philosophical insight. At the start of the book, Carlyle introduces readers to the central concept that while much has been said about various aspects of human existence, little attention has been given to the philosophy behind clothing. The opening chapters set the stage for a deeper exploration of how clothes serve not merely as a physical covering but as a representation of individual and societal identity.
