Individuation, philosophy: the picking out of an object by a determination by means of additional information which is not to be derived from a single statement which contains this object. For example, beliefs are individualized by content, not e.g. by the length of the character strings with which they are expressed. The contents of a belief are, in turn, not individuated by their repetition, but by other contents._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Friedrich Nietzsche on Individuation - Dictionary of Arguments
Pfotenhauer IV 8 Individuation/Nietzsche/Pfotenhauer: The process of individuation, the individual's rebellion against his fate, comes to rest in ecstatic reconciliation with nature. >Individual/Nietzsche, >Nature/Nietzsche. Pfotenhauer IV 36 Individuation/Music/Philosophy/Nietzsche: Nietzsche speaks of a "mysterious primordial one" of the "World Harmony" and the "higher commonality" into which he enters(1), who ecstatically forgets himself, who escapes the fate of the individual. Pfotenhauer: This thought of redemption in higher harmony is oriented towards music. Nietzsche himself speaks of a "profound metaphysics of music"(2) in analogy to Schopenhauer. The music in which the Dionysian state is in actual woe is the art philosophical red, in which becoming is stopped. >Music/Nietzsche. 1. F. Nietzsche, Die Geburt der Tragödie, KGW VI, 3, p. 26. 2. Ibid., Kap.5 p. 42._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number. The corresponding books are indicated on the right hand side.
