Individualism, Decadence and Globalization: On the Relationship of Part to Whole, 1859-1920
Shows the full range of meanings of individualism at the height of its promise. Simultaneously cultural history and social theory, its contribution is a thorough command of the history in clarifying current debates on methodological individualism, liberalism, and cosmopolitanism or world citizenship and in preserving models of freedom that are not confined to free markets, liberalism not reduced to neo-liberalism, and an individualism that is more than the maximization of self-interest. It moves the field from the local to the global, includes recent developments in life sciences, and concludes with what the author has developed as the Global Circulation Project.
