Description

Explore the complex relationship between rationality and social structures in this academic inquiry. Published by Routledge, this book examines the ongoing debate in social science theories that move between holism and individualism. Wettersten challenges the traditional view that rationality depends on the requirement for coherent theories to be proven true. By rejecting these standard assumptions, the author argues that conventional explanations of rationality impose unrealistic demands on both individuals and institutions. This work provides a deep analysis of the theories of Weber and Popper to explore the limits and possibilities of rational thought and action. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the foundations of social science explanation and the mechanics of how institutions influence events.
