The Individual: Contexts, Relations, Research

1. The Main Objectives:

In studying society, sociologist must inevitably study individuals. Regardless of both methodological individualism and methodological holism, the Individual remains the crucial notion in the field of social science. The starting point for research into the status of the Individual within sociology is the premise as to the diversity and multidimensional nature of this category.
The issue of Studia Sociologica titled The Individual. Contexts, Relations, Research examines the nature of the Individual and their social relationship to society. A lot of controversy and discussion has grown up around the very concept of the Individual and all of this results to certain degree from its ambiguity. This is partially because the models used for the explanation of the condition of the Individual are linked with the actual processes of change occurring within societies.
The principal objective of the issue is to present a wide range of the concepts of the Individual and their various dimensions in sociology and social science.

2. The Detailed Problems:

- theoretical discourse of the Individual
