Summary/Abstract: In this paper I want to consider a range of aspects (ethical, political, economical, ontological, epistemological, logical and methodological) of the dilemma between individualism and holism. I seek the solution by using approach named "coordinationism". This approach considers social things as together as separately, accepts interior-exterior character of their predicates. I assume that the notion "coordination" contains the ideas of concordance, arrangement, and interdependence between different and self-contained social subjects - individuals or social structures; about their reciprocal respect, recognition, acceptance, and allowance into a community. It contains the ideas of mutual confidence, of catallactics, and of isonomy.
