üksikisiklikud

"Üksikisiklikud" is an Estonian term that translates to "individualistic" or "individualism." It refers to a social, political, or philosophical outlook that emphasizes the moral worth, freedom, and independence of the individual. In this context, "üksikisiklikud" highlights the importance of personal autonomy, self-reliance, and the pursuit of individual goals and desires.

This perspective often contrasts with collectivist viewpoints, which prioritize the group, community, or nation over the individual. An individualistic approach values self-expression, personal responsibility, and the belief that individuals should be free to make their own choices without undue interference from others or institutions. It suggests that societal progress and well-being are best achieved when individuals are empowered to pursue their own interests and talents.

In Estonian society, the concept of "üksikisiklikud" can manifest in various ways, from attitudes towards personal achievement and economic freedom to approaches in political discourse and social interactions. It underscores the idea that each person is a distinct entity with unique needs and aspirations.
