Abstract

Rethinking the Individualism-Holism Debate edited by Julie Zahle and Finn Collin is reviewed. Each of the contributions contained in the volume is summarized. The review concludes by assessing the volume's usefulness for bringing clarity into the debate in the light of the editors' self-set goal of rethinking the individualism-holism debate as one of the more important yet confused debates in philosophy of the social sciences.
