Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of the concept of individualism and its social implications. The author argues that the idea of individualism has undergone several transformations throughout history, from the self-centered individualism of ancient times to the socially responsible individualism of today. This book traces the development of individualism, setting it within a wider historical and literary context, covering various schools of thought. The author argues that, while societies have historically oscillated between individualism and communalism, the present era is characterized by a 'higher individualism.' This higher individualism is not about dominating others or avoiding social contact but instead is achieved through interdependence and mutual support. The author believes that this form of individualism is the key to a more just and humane society.
