Pluralization and Individualism

Individuation is Pluralization with the product abstracted from the generating process. The influence of the abstraction on human history has been pervasive and chronic. For, example, it is the ground of the Creator-Creation split of Theological Dualism, as well as of the relegation of the Individual to the status of mere illusion in Buddhism. Furthermore, its Political implications are familiar in contemporary American society--the ethos of 'rugged Individualism', which to Nietzsche, in Human, All Too Human, #45, constitutes an ignoble rabble. Spinoza's Pantheism, and Rousseau's General Will are among the first steps in undermining these related dogmas, though without fully exposing the abstraction at their source.
