Description
Steven Lukes explores the concept of individualism in this influential text. He examines how different national traditions and intellectual currents have shaped our understanding of the individual, revealing a complex web of unit-ideas and doctrines that underpin modern societies. Lukes argues that individualism has taken on a malign ideological role, promoting a narrow vision of social policy that prioritises market solutions over institutional alternatives. This analysis offers valuable insights into the evolution of Western thought and its ongoing impact on contemporary politics and society. Through his examination of individualism, Lukes sheds light on the underlying assumptions and power dynamics that shape our social and economic systems.
