About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Oxford University Press, 1992. Hard Cover. As New/As New. This is a study of methodological individualism, the view in social science that all social phenomena must be accounted for in terms of what individuals think, choose, and do; the author, a Professor of Philosophy at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, challenges the assertion that methodological individualism is obviously true but trivial and attempts to revive the debate between individualists and non-individualists; he argues that once the individualist assumptions are challenged, the way is clear for a rehabilitation of non-individualist methodology which permits an independent study of social contexts, and a contextual study of the beliefs and actions of individuals (black cloth with gold lettering; publisher's review copy slip afixed to front endpaper; black & green dust jacket with white lettering and red stripes is enclosed in clear mylar cover; a bright, clean, tight copy)
