A Theory of Social Action

More about the book

Focusing on the underexplored realm of social actions, this book critiques the limited philosophical and psychological discourse surrounding joint actions performed by multiple agents. While acknowledging the existing action theory and game theory, it highlights their shortcomings in addressing the complexities of social action. Introducing the purposive-causal theory, the work aims to systematically analyze social actions and develop essential concepts for social psychology and sociology. Despite its comprehensive approach, it acknowledges that many significant questions remain unanswered.
