Maybe not. In ways that matter. I don't know if free will exists or a self. I believe in the right to individuality.

I'm a personalist, I reject there is something called "individual" which you can separate from your family or society.

I think our individuality is part of us. So is our group ties & our shared humanity.

Which I would refer to personhood, but not as individuality. Individuality assumes something that is indivisible, separate.

Not really, if you're a liberal individualist, you view liberty as non-intervention while a personalist might agree with interventions.

We have a semantic difference in that we're talking abt same thing using different words. Let's not argue definitions.

I think semantics are very important, because it is the cause of miscommunication.

If you say individual, what do you mean? It's clearly not the same as I how think of individual and before you know it, people get angry.
