Vitalism, Conformism, Individual

Nietzsche promotes a Vitalist doctrine.  Will to Power is an energizing principle, and the concept of Eternal Recurrence functions as a necessary condition of the doctrine--a Vitalist is one who loves Life even if all events eternally recur. His Vitalism is a corrective to what he diagnoses as centuries of de-vitalizing Christian Morality that promotes conformism.  Intended or not, the most powerful dimension of that Theological tradition is the concept of the Immortal Individual Soul, which, as the identical in all in its incarnations, levels any corporeal distinctions, and, hence, is egalitarian. Now, Nietzsche struggles with the concept of the Individual because, like not only Schopenhauer and Kant, but the entire Modern Philosophical tradition, he accepts the relation between Universal and Particular as antithetical.  As a result, the status of Individualism only complicates his presentation of the doctrine, e. g. The Gay Science #1.  But, the complication is unnecessary--the problem with the concept of Individual is not that it is a fiction, but, rather, that it is the product of an abstraction. For, the concept of the process of Individuation is an abstraction from the concept of the process of Diversification, which Darwin recognizes as having Evolutionist value, i. e. his 'variation'.  Now, Diversification can vary infinitely, between fragmentation and homogenization.  But, with Individual a univocal cardinal Quantifier, those variations cannot be distinguished, nor can each be evaluated on the basis of a Vitalist criterion.  So, missing in his Revaluation of All Values is Individualism, leaving his Vitalism susceptible to reduction to the former, e. g. by some contemporary Capitalists.  However, because Nietzsche fails to redefine Individuation as Diversification, those contemporary Individualists, e. g. Randians, perpetuate anti-Vitalism, in two ways--by promoting social fragmentation, and by failing to recognize that 'individual' is the most generic, and, hence, conformist attribute possible.
