Isn't that odd coming from someone who just denounced the libertarian 
conception of the individual as "ahistorical"? I don't get it - on 
the one hand, we're all a bunch of disaparate, incommensurate 
individuals about whom no generalizations are possible, and on the 
other we're each just an instantiation of the collective. Which is 
it, Carrol? Is there such a thing as society or no?
