Expressive individualism is a term used today to describe the intuitive way that we think about ourselves as human beings.

Dr. Carl Truman talking about his presentation at the 2025 issues, etc., making the case conference.

We think about ourselves as free, autonomous, self-determining, and we place a great emphasis upon our feelings as being decisive for who we are.
