Four Principles of Methodological Individualism

History cannot teach us any general rule, principle or law. There is no means to abstract from historical experience a posteriori,. Any theories or theorems concerning human conduct and policies. The data of history would be nothing but a clumsy accumulation of disconnected occurrences if they could not be clarified by systematic axeological knowledge. Praxiology deals with the actions of individual men. And social action is treated as a special case of the more universal category of human action. This methodological individualism has been vehemently attacked by various metaphysical schools and disparaged as a nominalistic fallacy.
