Synopsis

Draws on the thinking of both Hegel and Nietzsche to assess the modern Western defense of individuality to consider whether we were right to reject the ancient model of community above the individual. The theoretical and practical implications of this project are important, because the proper defense of the individual allows for the survival of modern liberal institutions in the face of non-Western critics who value communal goals at the expense of individual rights.
