ABSTRACT
In this last chapter, I will try to bring some threads together and, above all, to summarise the results of this investigation. The main result is that methodological individualism exists in a bewildering number of different versions.1 This situation has created a Babylonian confusion of tongues, which makes intellectual exchange extremely difficult, if not impossible. In order to discuss the pros and cons of methodological individualism – something I intend to do in a later work – it is necessary to keep at least the most important versions of methodological individualism apart.
