An analysis of the philosophy underlying anti-collectivist individualism

Saunders, Lynda January 1988 (has links)
The subject matter of this thesis is a particular form of individualism - anti-collectivist individualism. To be differentiated from more collectivist, humanist strands of individualism, anti-collectivist individualism can readily be equated wi th the classic liberal creed that accompanied a new stress on the indi vidual and the emergence of a capitalist market economy in the West in the post-feudal period. The thesis places anti-collectivist individualism within the classic liberal tradition. It addresses anti-collectivist individualism both as an issue of substantive relevance to people and to politics and as an issue within sociological explanation, from the perspective of that atomism which underlies it, and through an examination of the .. :atomistic view of humankind, of history and of social causation. Specifically addressed in relation to the anti-collectivist framework are: the presumed atomistic relations of exteriority between individuals. the presumption that nothing exists in the phenomenal world other than individuals in aggregate and that explanatory power therefore rests with individuals. the presumption that to provide people with the conditions for self-reliance is a contradiction in terms. the presumption that human individuals lack the rationality to construct a 'good' society and should relinquish 'constructivist' rationalism in favour of 'evolutionary I rationalism. The question of whether capitalism and individualism are merely historically contingent (as per Abercrombie et al 1986) or are mutually defining (Friedman 1962, 1980) is also considered, it being concluded that they are not mutually defining but have entered into a second order symbiotic relation of dependence which may prove difficult to deconstruct. The ontology underlying anti-collectivist individualism is rigorously criticised, but it is suggested that individualism, far from no longer featuring in dominant discourse, as Abercrombie et al claim, remains the pivotal underlying premise of social and economic activity in the West, and indeed, being a historically evolved, even though particular manifestation of important and necessary elements of the human psyche for security, identity and self-actualisation, is likely to remain a prime mode of orientation in the West. It is claimed that this acceptance is not incompatible with communitarian and/or socialist forms of organisation.

Of orcs and men : a study of individualism and community in World of warcraft

Sharp, Matthew S. January 2008 (has links)
World of Warcraft (WoW) is the most successful massively multi-player role-playing game (MMO). It currently consists of over ten million players world-wide. This study focuses on how American players use the game to play with the meanings of individuality and community. This tension between individualism and community is one of the key elements of American culture. Too much individualism leads to a loss of community. The same occurs in WoW. Player-run guilds, which operate as a community of memory, begin to suffer from players who operate on individualistic terms. Ultimately, players play WoW because they get the chance to experience what a strong community commitment can be like. / Department of Anthropology

Den individualistiska tvåsamheten

Dewill, Linda, Eriksson, Sofia January 2009 (has links)
<p>Abstract</p><p>Syftet med denna uppsats är att belysa eventuella motsättningar som parrelationer utsätts för i och med dagens individualistiska samhälle då individualism och tvåsamhet kan ses som motsatspar. Vi vill med detta få ökad förståelse för hur parrelationer präglas av samhället och vi har utgått ifrån fyra övergripande frågeställningar nämligen:</p><p>1. Hur är det att leva i en parrelation idag?</p><p>2. Hur yttrar sig eventuell motsättning mellan individuellt självförverkligande kontra att anpassa sig till en annan människa?</p><p>3. Är långsiktighet i dagen samhälle eftersträvansvärt?</p><p>4. Vilka förväntningar finns på parrelationen och hur påverkar familj eller omgivning dessa förväntningar?</p><p>För att få klarhet i vårt område gjorde vi intervjuer med 10 personer som är sambos samt analyserade intervjusvaren utifrån teorier som berör individualism och relationer. Det som tydligt framkom som uppvisar individualismens inverkan var att samtliga påpekade betydelsen av att få vara för sig själv och inte bara vara ett par. Dessutom ville individerna gärna bestämma de gemensamma drömmarna själva. Samtliga syftade till att deras relation skulle vara länge men vissa menade att de skulle ske genom att leva för stunden och andra menade att det skulle bli genom långsiktigt tänkande och planering.</p>

Individualism i vårt samhälle och arbetsliv.

Forselius Eriksson, Jenni January 2006 (has links)
<p>Vårt samhälle är idag ett föränderligt kunskapssamhälle som ställer allt högre krav på oss medborgare. Från att vårt samhälle har varit mer kollektivistiskt, har det börjat ta några stadiga kliv mot ett mer individualistiskt samhälle. Idag kräver vårt arbetsliv allt mer av oss medborgare och det kräver att vi tar fram det bästa hos var och en av oss. Därmed har jag som avsikt att undersöka om arbetstagare på en specifik arbetsplats, märkt av denna förändring som sker enligt författare som forskar på området. Att vi har gått från det kollektiva till ett mer individinfluerat samhälle. Jag vill undersöka om det har implementerats i vårt arbetsliv eller om det ännu endast hänger i luften. Jag vände mig till en offentlig förvaltning med 102 deltagare som gjorde ett aktivt ställningstagande. Undersökningen gav mig möjligheten att se om kvinnor och män skiljer sig i sitt ställningstagande, i de påståendena som fanns. Jag hade en förförståelse om att det skulle finnas skillnader, men jag blev förvånad när jag upptäckte att det inte fanns några markanta skillnader mellan könen i flera ståndpunkter.</p> / <p>Our society today is a changing knowledge society that brings higher demands from it’s citizens. From that our society has been more collectivistic, it has been taking some large steps towards a more individualistic society. Today our working life demands more of us citizens and that demands us that we can take our best in each of us. Whit that I have an intention to investigate if the employees in a specific place of work. If they have notes something of these changing that happens, according to authors who are researching in the area. The fact that we have gone from the collective society to a more individual influenced society. I want to investigate if there has been implemented in our working society or if the collectivistic “still is hanging in the air”. I turned to a public administration whit 102 participants that made an active position in the questioners I gave them. The investigation gave me the opportunity to see if women and men are difference in there point of view. I thought it would be differences between the sexes, but I was surprised when I discovered that there wasn’t any remarkable difference between the sexes in several questions.</p>
