The text argues that individualism is far from dead. Tibor Machan identifies, develops and defends what he calls classical individualism - an individualism humanized by classical philosophy, rooted in Aristotle rather than Hobbes. It 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 have important social and political implications, and should be of interest to anyone concerned with the notion of individuality and individual responsibility, or with an interest in the following: social and political affairs, social ethics, political philosophy, economics, rights theory, the nature of the human being, libertarianism, capitalism, or environmentalism.
