Hegel joined a lively conversation, from Leibniz to Romanticism and beyond, about this novel concept\/phenomenon. Successive chapters track Hegel's engagement, in such texts as the \u003ci\u003ePhenomenology\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEncyclopedia\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eAesthetics\u003c\/i\u003e. Hegel's system tends to follow a syllogistic logic (universal, particular, singular), but 'individuality' departs from the norm. The category enacts a certain pragmatics (as against semantics or syntactics) regarding tacit assumptions at work or implicit terms of address, which requires active participation by a thinking subject charged with discerning individuality (which bars resort to explicit rules). The category reflexively implicates the user even in presuming an objective context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Individuality' should not be confused with 'individualism, ' wholly distinct in origin. Moreover, Hegel's \u003ci\u003eAesthetics \u003c\/i\u003eembraces a paradoxical anachronism. Like 'art' itself, 'individuality' emerged as an essentially modern category, though one transferred to the past and to distant cultures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Donougho\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031213688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031213687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.94d","brand":"Martin Donougho","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44122907869439,"sku":"9783031213687","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_725a9de1-d5a7-4dd7-a9ff-b6b895b39784.jpg?v=1687427802","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hegels-individuality-martin-donougho-9783031213687","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
