Atomism (social)
Atomism or social atomism is a sociological theory arising from the scientific notion ''atomic theory'', coined by the ancient Greek philosopher Democritus and the Roman philosopher Lucretius. In the scientific rendering of the word, atomism refers to the notion that all matter in the universe is composed of basic indivisible components, or atoms. When placed into the field of sociology, atomism assigns the individual as the basic unit of analysis for all implications of social life. Therefore, all social values, institutions, developments and procedures evolve entirely out of the interests and actions of the individuals who inhabit any particular society. The individual is the ‘atom’ of society and therefore the only true object of concern and analysis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thefreedictionary.com/atomism )〕
==Political Implications==
Political theorists such as John Locke and Thomas Hobbes extend social atomism to the political realm. They assert that human beings are fundamentally self- interested, equal and rational ''social atoms'' that together form an aggregate society of self-interested individuals. Those participating in society must sacrifice a portion of their individual rights in order to form a ''social contract'' with the other persons in society. Ultimately, although some rights are renounced, self-interested cooperation occurs for the mutual preservation of the individuals and for society at large.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://constitution.org/soclcont.htm )〕
