Reason in Action

Více o knize

Exploring the complexities of rationality, this collection of essays critiques the limitations of traditional economic theories that view individuals as mere preference-seekers. Hollis emphasizes the importance of understanding social action within the context of norms, principles, and cultural perspectives. Drawing on twenty-five years of interdisciplinary work, the essays address themes such as rational choice and the interplay between roles and reason. With a blend of philosophical insight and engaging prose, the work appeals to both philosophers and social scientists.
