Originally published in The Fortnightly Review, February 1891

Oscar Wilde argues in stirring prose that individualism is inherent in human nature and should be cultivated to its highest level. Individualism, according to Wilde, is the only foundation on which a true and lasting sympathy for others can be built.

The Libertarianism.org Readers series provides an introduction to the major ideas and thinkers in the libertarian tradition.
