Chewing on Individualism
U.S. News & World Report publishes a piece by Joannie Fischer titled “Those Rugged Individuals," which scantily reviews the history of individualism, and those who promoted the idea, and then delves into individualism’s metamorphisis over time here in the U.S.
The piece presents a mildly negative view of individualism, especially in regards to the thought that individualists care ought for others, a thought I do not necessarily agree with, but, if you have any interest in individualism, it’s worth taking the time to read.
