Welcome to the FSI Website The
purpose here is for any individual to have access to those historical
and current ideas relating to individualism as a philosophy for living. The
basic contention is that individual experience is the foundation upon which
everything else is constructed. As suggested in the Descartes quote above, it
all starts with the individual. You
are invited to look over “A Conversation with Milton Friedman.” This one-year,
email dialogue between FSI Founder, Gordon F. Brown, and the noted recipient
of the 1976 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences focuses on linking a
philosophy of individualism and the theory of free-market economics. New
to this site is A Conversation with Ray Bradbury with Gordon
Brown that began in 2007. Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) is a well-known and
prolific American author of short stories and fiction with themes consistent
with a philosophy of individualism--notably, Farhrenheit
451. [Posted on June 18, 2012] Visit
"Brown's Perspectives and Commentaries" for essays and reflections
on a variety of topics related to individualism. Recent additions include: * US-China Policy--Posted March 12,
2012, this commentary is an aside to my primary focus of writing a treatise
that provides a bird's eye view of individualism as a philosophy based on a
relative perspective of reality. When shopping at Trader Joe's, a casual
comment to another customer about the virtues of organic bananas resulted in
his mentioning that he was going to China. With China now on my mind, I
decided to post on this website some of my thoughts where I consider US-China
policy to be a part of a natural maturational process involving induction and
deduction. As for putting this commentary on the website, I took note that
although we do no advertising, there are over 2000 hits per month with China
being a respectable second to US hits. * Tiger's Titantic --This commentary,
posted December 20, 2009, on Mr. Wood's current situation is viewed from a
relative perspective and takes note of our newsletter in 2002, which can be
seen as predicting a significant aspect of this episode. *Herbert Hoover's American
Individualism --This
commentary, posted October 2008, explores the implications of Hoover's
philosophy of individualism. “Relativity”
is a term we frequently associate with individualism. Our use of the term
simply refers to relationships as the basic dynamic underlying human
experience. We have provided a link to a series of “Relatively Speaking”
newsletters spanning over 25 years. For the last 20 years, I have been compiling my research
