Alexis de Tocqueville, the First Social Scientist
ISBN: 9780521740074 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The book proposes a new interpretation of Alexis de Tocqueville that views him first and foremost as a social scientist rather than as a political theorist. Drawing on his earlier work on the explanation of social behavior, Elster argues that Tocqueville s main claim to our attention today rests on the large number of exportable causal mechanisms to be found in his work, many of which are still worthy of further exploration. Elster proposes a novel reading of Democracy in America in which the key explanatory variable is the rapid economic and political turnover rather than equality of wealth...

Tmel společnosti
ISBN: 9788020022240 / Czeski / 2013 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Otázka, kterou si klade Jon Elster v této pozoruhodné knize, zní, co drží společnosti pohromadě a zabraňuje jim, aby se rozpadly v chaosu a válce. Elster analyzuje dva pojmy sociálního řádu: stálé, předpověditelné vzorce chování a kooperativní chování. Kniha zkoumá rozmanité aspekty kolektivního jednání a vyjednávání z hledisek teorie racionální volby a teorie sociálních norem. Vychází ze základního předpokladu, že sociální normy jsou důležitou motivací iracionálního (neracionálního) jednání. Kniha představuje významný milník v...

Multiple Self
ISBN: 9780521346832 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The essays in this volume consider the question of whether the self is a unity or whether it should be conceived without metaphor as divided--as a "multiple self." The issue is a central one for several disciplines. It bears directly on the account of rationality and the explanation of individual decision-making and behavior. Is the hypothesis of a multiple self required to deal with the problems of self-deception and weakness of will; and can the conceptual tools developed in the study of interpersonal conflict be applied to the analysis of intra-personal struggle? The essays, by a number of...

Ulysses Unbound: Studies in Rationality, Precommitment, and Constraints
ISBN: 9780521665612 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This provocative book argues that, very often, people may benefit from being constrained in their options or from being ignorant. The three long essays that constitute this book revise and expand the ideas developed in Jon Elster's classic study Ulysses and the Sirens. It is not simply a new edition of the earlier book though; many of the issues merely touched on before are explored here in much more detail. Elster shows how seemingly disparate examples that limit freedom of action reveal similar patterns, so much so that he proposes a new field of study: constraint theory. The book is...

The Cement of Society: A Survey of Social Order
ISBN: 9780521376075 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The question addressed in this challenging new book is: What binds societies together and prevents them from disintegrating into chaos and war? Elster analyzes two concepts of social order: stable, predictable patterns of behavior, and cooperative behavior. The book examines various aspects of collective action and bargaining from the perspective of rational choice theory and the theory of social norms. It is a fundamental assumption of the book that social norms provide an important kind of motivation for action that is irreducible to rationality.

Reason and Rationality
ISBN: 9780691139005 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. One of the world's most important political philosophers, Jon Elster is a leading thinker on reason and rationality and their roles in politics and public life. In this short book, he crystallizes and advances his work, bridging the gap between philosophers who use the idea of reason to assess human behavior from a normative point of view and social scientists who use the idea of rationality to explain behavior. In place of these approaches, Elster proposes a unified conceptual framework for the study of behavior. Drawing on classical moralists as well as modern scholarship,...

Making Sense of Marx

A systematic, critical examination of Karl Marx's social theories and their philosophical presuppositions. Through extensive discussions of the texts Jon Elster offers a balanced and detailed account of Marx's views that is at once sympathetic, undogmatic and rigorous. Equally importantly he tries to assess 'what is living and what is dead in the philosophy of Marx', using the analytical resources of contemporary social science and philosophy. Professor Elster insists on the need for microfoundations in social science and provides a systematic criticism of functionalism and teleological...
