About the Author Rajeev Bhargava is Senior Fellow and Director, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, Delhi. Product Description The central argument of this book is that methodological individualismthe view that all social phenomena are explicable in ways that only involve individualsis seriously challenged by a different approach in social science called contextualism. At the outset of his book, Rajeev Bhargavadesigns a twofold programme. First, to identify the significant versions of methodological individualism, and to assess both their plausibility and feasibility. Second, to articulate contextualism as a rival conception of social science and to show that it is superior to even the most plausibleforms of methodological individualism. This book challenges this assumption by claiming that methodological individualism is neither trivial nor obviously true. The author presents this challenge by outlining an equally, if not more, credible nonindividualist alternative. The dispute over individualism versus holism in social scienceis best treated here.
