Is Praxeology synonymous to Methodological Individualism?  Praxeology is the science of human action.  Methodological Individualism is a philosophical method aimed at explaining and understanding broad society-wide developments as the aggregation of decisions by individuals.  They both have to do with understanding the world via actions/decisions of individuals.  Do the nuances differ of each methodology differ?  Or are they one and the same?
