Summary
Adriana Zaharijević: Who is an individual?
A genealogical questioning of the idea of a citizen
The book "Who is an individual? A genealogical questioning of the idea of a citizen" takes place in the 19th century, in Victorian England. The question he asks in the title is somewhat absurd both at the level of everyday language and at the level of political philosophy. It would be said that the individual is the basic unit of political thought, a category applicable to everyone. A careful reading of the archival material - from laws that expanded the right to vote, materials that defined the meaning of gender and class, to reform manuals and reports of royal commissions - shows that this answer is not and should not be self-evident. At a specific moment in which there is a turning point in the development of the state, political transformation and expansion of the free market, the individual was significantly distinguished by the right to privacy and the power to participate in building the public. "Little people" and women in such structural circumstances did not claim the right to be called an individual.
"Who is an individual?" is a book that deals with a certain historical moment that for us today has not only historical value. It provides a fundamental critique of liberal social ontology and a basis for understanding the failure of identity politics created within that framework.
