Description

Explore a groundbreaking inquiry into institutional rationality and social explanation with this Routledge academic work. The book challenges conventional theories that oscillate between holism and individualism, arguing that traditional rationality assumptions impose unrealistic demands on both individuals and institutions. Through rigorous analysis of Weber and Popper's theoretical frameworks, the author demonstrates how Popper advanced rationality theory whilst identifying critical limitations in existing approaches. This scholarly examination bridges philosophy of science, sociology, and institutional analysis, offering readers a fresh perspective on how rational thought shapes institutional behaviour and social outcomes. Essential reading for academics, researchers, and students in sociology, anthropology, and social sciences seeking to understand the philosophical foundations of institutional decision-making and collective action.
