Abstract

Thinking about moral aspects of extra-personal areas, which include both interpersonal and social areas, can have diverse starting points. A starting point that has been widely welcomed by many sociologists, psychologists, and some ethicists in Iran is individualism/collectivism. Conceptual analysis of individualism and collectivism is important and needed because Iranian authors, while employing them so much, at most are content with a short definition of them. The goal of this paper is conceptual analysis of individualism and collectivism in Iran. First, I review and investigate how a number of Iranian authors think about individualism and collectivism, and I analyze and infer which web of concepts individualism and collectivism are connected with. Prominence of egoism and collective interests for Iranian authors in discussing individualism and collectivism has led a significant number of Iranian authors to seek to show that their emphasis on egoism in individualism – and, in some cases, emphasis on collective interests in collectivism— is in accordance with the ideas and concepts some Western thinkers such as Tocqueville and Durkheim. I have concluded from this section that concerning individualism there is much more difference than agreement.
