Separated Man Modern Individualism, Crisis of Meaning in Western Societies - Dr. Mahmoud Keeshana

Share this post :

The issue of modern Western individualism is one of the most serious topics that has led to the separation of humans from their families, societies, and religions.

 In this study, we have attempted to explore its role in the destruction of the human being, reducing them to a mere body devoid of spirit, earning the title of the separated individual. While the relationship between individualism and the separated human being is the central focus of this study, another key aspect is uncovering its influences that shaped its direction and created a barrier between the individual and others. This separation led to the individual's complete detachment from their social identity. This is such as materialistic philosophy, which entrenched a materialistic worldview in Western society with all its negative dimensions; existentialism, which sought to question everything religious and spiritual; and pragmatism, which institutionalized the principle of utility, causing individuals to focus solely on their personal benefit, even at the expense of human values and principles. These are all philosophies and doctrines that nourished individualism and produced the isolated human being.
