Man is Not Free The West is grappling with the question whether the individual has primacy or the society. Many aver that an individual is free to do anything he or she likes. But can a man claim to have absolute freedom? The individual cannot do anything by himself. He has to work in conjunction with others. For his food, nourishment, routine activity-for virtually everything he depends on others. Even as science progresses, the individual is becoming increasingly dependent on others. The farmer produces food-grains, but for clothing remains dependent on others.
