O článku:
Individual as a Model Category for Social Organization. The article examines individualism as a kind of social organization typical for modern societies. Although individualism is mostly analysed as an ideology or the methodological approach, author outlines how the individual becomes a model category for social institutions and processes. Contrary to the ideological expectations the individual did not prove to be an appropriate category for social organization and that is why the sociological theory of individualism is needed. The main problem of social individualism resides in misunderstanding of social elements and its functions, and consequently also in realization of individual’s sociality. These misunderstandings cause the apparent paradoxes, or dual face of contemporary individualism, which represents e. g. phenomena of conformity, uncertainty, ambiguity and social exclusion. Rethinking individualism requires rethinking of principles of creating social groups and institutions. The central quality of social groups became collectiveness as a result of individualistic constructive processes and institutionalisation of egalitarianism. Individualistic social organization represents specific kind of social structure and processes. Sociológia 2007, Vol. 39 (No. 2: 136-160)
