This paper deals mainly with Hayek’s methodological individualism as explained by him in his Individualism and Economic Order-Revolution of Science.By this methodology,Hayek argues against both the name individualism and the simple hoslism because these two methodologies make a methodological mistake:they misunderstand the methodological abstraction as the ontological realty,and see individuals and social collectivities as meaning objects.The author thus argues that Hayek’s methodological individualism could only be understood in epistemological way but not in ontological way.
