In Classical Individualism, Tibor R. Machan argues that
individualism is far from being dead. Machan identifies, develops
and defends what he calls classical individualism - an
individualism humanised by classical philosophy, rooted in
Aristotle rather than Hobbes.
This book does not reject the social nature of human beings, but
finds that every one has a self-directed agent who is responsible
for what he or she does. Machan rejects all types of collectivism,
including communitarianism, ethnic solidarity, racial unity, and
gender identity. The ideas expressed here have important social and
political implications, and will be of interest to anyone concerned
with the notion of individuality and individual responsibility.
