Opis

Examining the concept of individuality and the ideology of individualism in terms of a dialectic between the self and the social order, the author draws a distinction between the person as an identity--a "someone"--who conforms to social roles and norms, and the individual as a nonidentity--a "no one"--who holds particular nonconformist perceptions of truth that result in conscious and independent moral discrimination and innovation.Originally published in 1979.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
