Individual Primacy

The Quest for Unborrowed Truth.

Differentiation of Self and Collective / Autonomia

Individual Primacy

Independence, freedom, personality, truth, justice, protest, non-conformism, progress, reformism, emancipation

Essence: autonomy and individual sovereignty.

The individual as irreducible unit - social pressure, group norms, inherited identities, and hierarchies are experienced as impositions to be resisted. Truth and independence rank above consensus. Belonging is voluntary or not at all.

Manifests as nonconformist, self-directed, and anti-hierarchical behavior.

Extreme manifestations: contrarianism, narcissistic exceptionalism, intolerance of any external authority.
