Individualism is one of most criticized and least understood ideas
in social and political thought. Is individualism the ability to
act independently amidst a web of social forces? A vital element of
personal liberty and a shield against conformity? Does it lead to
or away from unifying individuals with communities? Individualism:
A Reader provides a wealth of illuminating essays from the 17th to
the early 20th centuries. In 26 selections from 25 writers
individualism is explained and defended, often from unusual
perspectives. This anthology includes not only selections from
well-known writers, but also many lesser-known pieces-reprinted
here for the first time-by philosophers, social theorists, and
economists who have been overlooked in standard accounts of
individualism. The depth and complexity of ideas about
individualism are reflected in the six sections in this collection.
The first examines individuality generally, with the following five
detailing social, moral, political, religious, and economic
individualism. Throughout, individualism is analyzed and defended
through the lenses of classical liberalism, free-market
libertarianism, individual anarchism, voluntary socialism,
religious individualism, abolitionism, free thought, and radical
feminism. Both richly historical and sharply contemporary,
Individualism: A Reader provides a multitude of perspectives and
insights on personal liberty and the history of freedom.
