Some feel that a persistent shortcoming of the collective views of human action is that they often advocate a view of the individual as merely a bearer or token for the group to which he or she belongs. These theories do not account for individual choice. This project attempts to arrive at a general critique of individualism, drawing on a number of unit ideas which are contained in the term and attempts to contrast and defend a social conception of the individual. The discussions contained in this document describe many of the epistemologial and philosophical arguments for a theory of the social construction of reality. Topics include: (1) "The Radical Constructivist Perspective"; (2) "Relativism and Objectivism"; (3) "Fallibilism, Relativism and Rationality"; (4) "The Virtuous Circle"; (5) "Adaptation and Viability"; (6) "Social Constructivism and Language"; and (7) "Applications to Social and Political Philosophy." A list of 57 references is appended. (CW)
