Alexis de Tocqueville, the First Social Scientist
ISBN: 9780521518444 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

Strong Feelings: Emotion, Addiction, and Human Behavior
ISBN: 9780262550369 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Emotion and addiction lie on a continuum between simple visceral drives such as hunger, thirst, and sexual desire at one end and calm, rational decision making at the other. Although emotion and addiction involve visceral motivation, they are also closely linked to cognition and culture. They thus provide the ideal vehicle for Jon Elster's study of the interrelation between three explanatory approaches to behavior: neurobiology, culture, and choice. The book is organized around parallel analyses of emotion and addiction in order to bring out similarities as well as differences....

Nuts and Bolts for the Social Sciences
ISBN: 9780521376068 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book is intended as an introductory survey of the philosophy of the social sciences. It is essentially a work of exposition that offers a tool box of mechanisms--nuts and bolts, cogs and wheels--that can be used to explain complex social phenomena. Within a brief compass, Jon Elster covers a vast range of topics. His point of departure is the conflict we all face between our desires and our opportunities. How can rational choice theory help us understand our motivation and behavior? More significantly, what happens when the theory breaks down but we still cleave to a belief in the power...

Ulysses Unbound: Studies in Rationality, Precommitment, and Constraints
ISBN: 9780521662130 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

Closing the Books: Transitional Justice in Historical Perspective
ISBN: 9780521548540 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. After a change of political system, notably a transition from an autocratic to a democratic, or at least constitutional, regime, a process of transitional justice emerges in which wrongdoers from the previous regime are judged responsible and victims are compensated. John Elster looks at examples and proposes a framework for explaining variations. In addition to the numerous transitions after 1945 in Western Europe and after 1989 in Eastern Europe, transitional justice has taken place in classical Greece, the English and French restorations, and, more recently, in Latin America and South...
