CEVAP:

Emile Durkheim (1858-1917) provided explanations for how individualism (the concept of self) could be known. His subdivisions of individualism, that is, egoism (belief about self) and rationalism (rule-based behavior) became the basis for renewed thinking about politics. The idea that individualism does not come in only one dimension is important. Egoism results from inner feelings with non-rational, emotional roots; rationalism results from the conscious mental process of thinking.
