I haven't seen this book. But individualism, at least as it's usually enunciated on the net, seems to me to be greatly at odds with any movement or body of thought that focuses on the special problems and qualities of a category of persons, e.g. feminism or the black liberation movement. The whole point of individualism is to discount the validity, if not the effect, of that sort of categorization and the relations that may go along with it. Therefore -- since the book contradicts expectation -- it seems like it might be pretty interesting. Who's the publisher? -- Gordon Fitch | gcf@mydog.uucp | uunet!cmcl2.nyu.edu!panix!mydog!gcf
