Individual, Universal, Pluralization, Unification
The positing of Individual Freedom, as prevails in Modern Political Philosophy, entails that the independent existence of a concrete Universal is indifferent, if not antithetical, to that principle. So the absence, in the era, of unifying purpose as a fundamental element in a polity, at least in part reflects the Logic underlying its construction. In contrast, if Individual Freedom is historicized, it can be re-interpreted as the culmination of a process of Pluralization. But, if so, then unifying purpose, likewise historicized, can be re-interpreted as a process of Unification, which, rather than antithetical to Pluralization, can function as its complement. So, a shift in Logic can transform what have been the standard parameters of Modern Political Philosophy.
