Description

Explore why people respect moral obligations and follow social norms even when self-interest suggests otherwise in this Oxford University Press examination of rule-following behaviour. For centuries, philosophers have grappled with the puzzle of principled moral adherence, whilst social scientists have investigated the broader phenomenon of rule-following across human societies. Experimental game theorists have conclusively demonstrated that the traditional "economic man" model-constantly reoptimising to maximise utility-fails to explain actual human conduct. This book bridges philosophy and social science to investigate the cognitive and motivational foundations underlying deontic constraint and practical reasoning, offering fresh perspectives on why rational agents often subordinate self-interest to principle and social expectation.

Key Features

Published by Oxford University Press, USA, offering authoritative academic scholarship on philosophical and social science topics.

Examines the long-standing philosophical puzzle of why people respect moral obligations as matters of principle rather than self-interest.

Addresses the broader social science phenomenon of rule-following and compliance with social norms even when outcomes are undesirable.

Incorporates findings from experimental game theory to critique traditional economic models of human behaviour.

Integrates practical reasoning theory with deontic constraint to explain motivations behind norm adherence and moral obligation.
