The enduring legacy of individualism can be seen in the United States' commitment to protecting civil liberties, fostering a diverse society that celebrates personal freedom and individual expression.

The Enlightenment's legacy continues to shape modern societies, where the ideals of personal autonomy, rational inquiry, and individual rights remain foundational to discussions about human freedom and progress. The Enlightenment's commitment to elevating the role of the individual in shaping society marked a turning point in human thought and culture, leaving an indelible mark on the trajectory of human progress.
