Methodological Individualism and Political Subjectivity
The article focuses on the concept of methodological individualism understood as a tool for the analysis of political subjectivity. Various types of individualism are analyzed with differentiation between psychological, ontological and methodological individualism. In turn, methodological individualism is analyzed both as a framework for social explanation and as a thesis about the priority of individual rights. Some parallels between the derivation of Nozick's minimal state and construction of political subjectivity are drawn.
