	20th WCP: The Not-so-trivial Truth of Methodological Individualism
		The principle of methodological individualism in the social sciences has its origin in the Austrian school of economics and was introduced into the philosophy of social science in general by Friedrich Hayek and Karl Popper.
		In his book Nuts and bolts for the social sciences (1989) he calls it 'trivially true'.
		The relation between a social entity and the individuals 'involved' in it is not a part-whole relation as is the relation between a cell and its composing molecules.

		Each case had already been evaluated by specialist NGOs such as the International Council for Traditional Music, the International Social Science Council, the International Council for Philosophy and Humanistic Sciences, the International Puppeteers Union, the International Theatre Institute and the International Council of Museums.
		The goal of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity programme is to raise public awareness of the value of this heritage and encourage governments to take legal and administrative steps to safeguard it.

	Articles by Jon Elster
		For example, "Marxism, Functionalism and Game Theory" could be classified under "Marxism", "The philosophy of the social sciences" and "Decision theory." Such classification is also redundant since the title, which is included in the database, indicates the main question dealt with in the article (but not the various intellectual tools used to answer the question).
		You should not be scared by the term "Marxism" in the title since his arguments about methodology are relevant to the social sciences in general.

	Advances in the Philosophy of Technology
		Therefore, it seems that mathematical modelling and numerical simulations in the social sciences constitute interesting approaches supplementary to the core of the application of mathematical statistics and non-quantitative investigation.
		This again shows that mathematical determinism is not very meaningful empirically, and that the determinism or indeterminism of our dynamical models should be conceived as a matter of degree; and deciding between a deterministic and an indeterministic model of description can be a convention depending on the choice of the precision of analysis.
		Mathematical determinism is given by the fundamental existence theorem of ordinary differential equations, i.e., the existence and uniqueness of a solution for any initial state.

	ipedia.com: Constructivist epistemology Article
		Critical constructionism recognizes that all our knowledge is "constructed," it does not reflect any external "transcendent" realities, but is contingent on convention, human perception, and social experience.
		It is believed that even physical and biological reality, including race, nation, gender, are socially constructed (Orthodox Marxism obviously pales in the face of such a ambitious expansion of social determinism).
		What is usually called constructionism or radical constructivism in American philosophy is a new criticism directed against medieval realism and classical rationalism.
