Some pieces on liberal individualism

They blame Hobbes. I reposted the Carlson piece, "Individualism and its Discontents" here.


"Thou, nature, art my goddess; to thy law
My services are bound. Wherefore should I
Stand in the plague of custom, and permit
The curiosity of nations to deprive me,
For that I am some twelve or fourteen moon-shines
Lag of a brother?" -Edmund, King Lear
