[Brad DeLong's Semi-Daily Journal] I am who I am not only because I am engaged in the lifelong task of becoming the person I want to be but also because I can identify myself with groups of people engaged in similar ''life-projects'': secular Jews, people with kids, people raised in Iowa City, to mention three personal instances.

[Economistsview.typepad.com] Economist's View: Amartya Sen: Democracy Isn't 'Western': and having loved, married and lost a brilliant woman, Harriet Taylor, Mill constructed a passionately precise argument for the rights of both individuals and minority groups in the face of ''the tyranny of the majority.'' Appiah wants to graft the branch of Millian individualism back onto the tree of political philosophy at a moment when possibilities of personhood unknown to Mill have entered public discussion -- the openly gay man or lesbian and the postcolonial subject, to name a few. Affirmative action, gay marriage, the human rights movement, even the teaching of evolution in the public schools: just about all the hot-button controversies of our moment turn on the scope and limits of individual and group rights Mill attempted to sort out more than a century ago.
