Book Synopsis

Examining the concept of individuality and the ideology of individualism in terms of a dialectic between the self and the social order, the author draws a distinction between the person as an identity--a "someone"--who conforms to social roles and norms, and the individual as a nonidentity--a "no one"--who holds particular nonconformist perceptions
