The easiest way out was to go back to the naked individual, to sweep away all associations as foreign to his nature and rights save as they proceeded from his own voluntary choice, and guaranteed his own private ends.
What he believes, hopes for and aims at is the outcome of association and intercourse.
The idea remains barren and empty save as it is incarnated in human relationships.
But this conclusion is an obvious invitation to trial of forces to see where superior force lies.
