Could you please tell if article "the" in the underlined phrase is used to point out to the "individual" that is said right in the phrase going before (highlighted with orange), or if it is used for another reason? I guess "the" here must be equal to "this" (I guess it points out to "individual" that was said already) because in my dictionary there are quite a lot of examples where it doesn't follow words "emphasis on".

"K: So, I'm asking, if I may, is not the self the beginning of all disorder? The self – I mean the egotistic attitude towards life, the sense of individual, emphasis on the individual, his salvation, his fulfilment, his happiness, and so on."
