With the rising of the special meaning of "each" individual emerged concepts such as mass and personality. Individuals become "lonely masses" without social inclusion, as sociologist David Riesman called it. An uprising of the masses was diagnosed by the Spanish philosopher Ortega y Gasset. This is done by the reunification of those who have already become individuals. ✊🏿
A personality is generally understood as an individual who has succeeded in rising from the crowd. Thus, criticism of individualism sees two possibilities: the anonymous absorption of the individual in the masses, which may be organized by collectivist movements and then become historical. The other possibility is the higher development of the individual into an independent, emancipated personality. 🧠
This results in two different paradigms. An optimistic assumes that most individuals can develop a personality and that individualism therefore is a step in the direction of a better society. The opposite pessimistic implies that individuals do not make it, and as a mass are just a tools of a powerful minority or are exploited by demagogues that individualism is therefore an aberration. 👥
