I don't know what individualism is.
And while I'm not the expert, the author would have it mean overcoming alienation from the One through mystical experience in the form of a tune. For that Dylan uses his egregious skill to stride fragmentation and string coincidences, feelings, and experience, to convey a universal melody. There is no need to delve the entire article for more, as it's more of the same. Symbols are abandoned but we return to Eden. Words preclude access, but poetry is the thing.
How about you? You have a predilection to mystic conservatism?
My guess is that the author has no clue what the proper role of political philosophy is, or if he does, disdains it for being unable to accomplish what it actually can't accomplish.
It struck me how Goldberg's recognition of powerlessness (how does he say it?--confusion? fragmentation? endless repetition?) helps him to find music as a solace. For Goldberg, Dylan's poetry is salvific because it is the poetry of solace. We are capable of mystic feeling, therefore we are capable of salvation.
