We Don't Live In A Shamanistic Culture...But Should We?







 
Good one.  The way I saw it is that Nietzsche considered the path to individualism to be a shamanic path.  We have a lot of things we call individualism and people tend to automatically assume that they pop out of the various wombs -- biological or political or social -- as fully-formed individuals, but the way to actual individualism is tougher and not quite so automatic.
