Individuality and Rationality

As has been previously discussed, the common meaning of 'individual' is antithetical to the standard Logical meaning of it, i. e. the latter connotes an instance of a Universal, while the former usually denotes a negation of some general type. In contrast with both is a third meaning of the term, one rarely used despite being the most literally precise of the three--'undivided'. Now, 'undivided' means 'internally consistent', and, hence, is a product of Rationality. Thus, the ideal of self-sufficiency associated with common 'Individualism' is achievable, and, is only achievable, according to Kant, on the basis of a ground that such 'Individualists' rarely invoke--a Rational principle.
