ABSTRACT

The law of individuality must be placed among the most important conditions of social life, for it is in essence a universal law. In the organic world, which includes both plant and animal kingdoms, the individual is at the foundation of the evolutionary process and of any development in general. The organic and inorganic worlds evolve in accordance with the law of individuality, in the sense that every new transformation does not destroy former individuality as a more or less closed system, but only changes its aspect. This chapter deals with individual self-sufficiency, which lies at the basis of the existence of any society, any collective personality, for only with the achievement of individual independence does it acquire its own raison d'etre. The cornerstone of any society is the family; a number of families forms a class; several classes form a community; several communities form a tribe with one or another social structure; and then come alliances of tribes.
