Individualistic political theories

Chapter 26 — Liberalism • Paragraph 3 • §26.00.03.00

Individualisation is different to, and ought not to be confused with, individualism or individuality—or any other political theory of the individual, for that matter. Individualism is a political theory that considers the individual the only social unit, and gives priority to its various needs. (Consider, however, that society is a group of individuals who are individualised by a specific state, see §08.00.05.) Individuality is a cornerstone of the political theory of liberalism. It assumes a unique character for each human, and therefore adds qualitative features to individuals which need to be nourished within a specific political system.
