Philosophy of The Individual by Sullivan questions the value of truth in itself- understanding the subjective value of truth in the life of a man. A rock can exist -that may be the truth- but why does this matter if it does not cross your path unless you think of it? Other themes involve exploring accountability, and how it is often demanded by the unaccountable to control, instead of enlighten. This book gives a glimpse at a different path rooted in freedom and shaping one's own nature. This book also uses rich metaphor to explore the ways in which the modern man has been turned 'sick', through both those offering a 'tough' way out, and those promoting radical empathy.
