Chapter Summary Of The Philosophy Of Freedom
Olin D. Wannamaker

Chapter 14 Individuality And Genus
Membership of the individual in human biological and social groups does not prevent the development of inner freedom. Out of the very qualities inherent in these groups, he molds his own unique personality. The development of the human individuality in the full sense of the word is a very slow process. The percept human being, visible before our eyes, does not correspond completely with the concept human being, drawn from the world of concepts, until the individual we perceive with our eyes has risen to the level of the free spirit.
