The subjective turn.
"Today, most of us feel strongly that we have the right to make the important decisions concerning our lives as individuals. These are conceived as personal choices that individuals have the right to make for themselves. While this idea is entirely intuitive to us today, it’s not absolute but rather socially and historically conditioned. The ancients had a very different understanding of such things."

@corlin Excellent essay! We now seem to be on the precipice of either figuring out how to reconcile individualism with freedom - or making a bigger mess of it:
"...people feel that they are at liberty to make up their own fiction and assert it as reality, even if their fictional version stands in stark contradiction to objectively verifiable facts, established law, accepted custom or self-evident ethical principles."
