Description

Explore the deep connection between human behavior and moral obligations in Following the Rules: Practical Reasoning and Deontic Constraint. Published by Oxford University Press, this work addresses a long-standing puzzle in both philosophy and social science: why do people follow rules even when it contradicts their own self-interest? While traditional economic theories often rely on the concept of "economic man" who constantly seeks to maximize utility, this book examines why that model fails to explain real-world actions. It looks at the phenomenon of rule-following and how individuals abide by social norms even when those norms lead to undesirable outcomes. This text is essential for readers interested in the intersection of practical reasoning, social norms, and deontic constraints. It provides a way to understand why people respect principles and how these behaviors shape our social and economic structures. Perfect for students and scholars of economics, philosophy, and social science looking to move beyond simple utility maximization models.

Key Features

Examines why people respect moral obligations as a matter of principle instead of just self-interest.

Investigates the social science phenomenon of rule-following and why individuals stick to norms despite undesirable consequences.

Challenges the traditional economic model of "economic man" and utility maximization through experimental game theory insights.

Provides a deep look into the relationship between practical reasoning and deontic constraints.

Published by Oxford University Press for academic and professional reliability in the fields of economics and philosophy.
