- Title
From Individual to State: Levels of Analysis.
- Authors
Udangiu, Eugenia
- Abstract
This study addresses the old problem of epistemological rupture between the micro and macro levels of scientific knowledge and critically analyzes the new proposals for reconciliation. At the same time, it is trying to answer questions like: is this methodological dualism a matter which limits scientific knowledge or it is rather an ideological dispute, in the broad sense of the term? Does it not rely on a founding duality and on a living dialectic between "the whole and the part"? The two levels of knowledge are not reciprocally exclusive and can "communicate" with each other and have even common analysis models.
