contemporary philosophy of knowledge

the second topic that we discuss are:
Our topic now is the contemporary philosophy of knowledge. I assume that you all have already mastered the mainstreams in that philosophy: positivism and interpretivism. Our first questions, criticizes the position of solipsism (one-self-ism). This school claims that being is knowing. Our second question criticizes the position of atomism or methodological individualism. Be focus.
Albert Muhajir Sholeh said : "one thing i can say that is individualism is god. its means everyone must have his/her personal character! no matter the other will discouraged to us, but the important one is "i as one-self-ism in my self".... confuse sir?
Sakban Rosidi said: "No, I am not confused, but you, since you actually do not know what do you talk. It is getting worse because too many misspellings and syntatic errors in your comment. But let me make it clear. Methodological individualism is not an ideology like individualism. It is a philosopical assumption that by studying the individuals, we can draw a conclusion applicable to collectivity, like group, community or society".
he continued: "Using Jean Jacques Rousseau... Read More’s term, this assumption claims that a group is identical with the sum of individuals, common will is identical with the will of all. In research, they use a questionary for individual to study society. Unfortunately, society is not the same as the sum of individuals. That is the big mistake brought by the methodological individualism. Mau kiasan? Kalau sendiri kamu “malu”, kalau rame-rame “memalukan”, sendiri “takut”, rame-rame “menakutkan”. Persenyawaan telah mengubah sifat dasar keseluruhan. Terus belajar, karena belajar adalah kemuliaan".

Parties who most feel the impact of natural disasters are vulnerable populations, such as women and children. A study conducted by the London School of Economics and Political Science of the 141 countries affected by disasters in the period 1981-2002 also found a strong link between natural disasters and socio-economic status of women.
