Tocqueville: The Ancien Régime and the French Revolution
ISBN: 9780521718912 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This new translation of an undisputed classic aims to be both accurate and readable. Tocqueville's subtlety of style and profundity of thought offer a challenge to readers as well as to translators. As both a Tocqueville scholar and an award-winning translator, Arthur Goldhammer is uniquely qualified for the task. In his Introduction, Jon Elster draws on his recent work to lay out the structure of Tocqueville's argument. Readers will appreciate The Ancien Regime and the French Revolution for its sense of irony as well as tragedy, for its deep insights into political psychology, and for its...

Political Psychology
ISBN: 9780521411103 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This provocative book takes up and develops the themes of rationality and irrationality in Jon Elster's earlier work. Its purposes are threefold. First, Elster shows how belief and preference formation in the realm of politics are shaped by social and political institutions. Second, he argues for an important distinction in the social sciences between mechanisms and theories. Third, he illustrates those general principles of political psychology through readings of three outstanding political psychologists: the French classical historian, Paul Veyne; the Soviet dissident writer, Alexander...

Institutional Design in Post-Communist Societies: Rebuilding the Ship at Sea
ISBN: 9780521479318 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The authors of this book have developed a different approach to the analysis of the transitions of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia to democracy and a market economy. They integrate interdisciplinary theoretical work with elaborate empirical data on some of the most challenging events of the 20th century. Three groups of phenomena and their causal interconnection are explored: the material legacies, constraints, habits and cognitive frameworks inherited from the past; the erratic configuration of new actors, and new spaces for action; and a new institutional order under...

Explaining Social Behavior: More Nuts and Bolts for the Social Sciences
ISBN: 9781107071186 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 516 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this new edition of his critically acclaimed book, Jon Elster examines the nature of social behavior, proposing choice as the central concept of the social sciences. Extensively revised throughout, the book offers an overview of key explanatory mechanisms, drawing on many case studies and experiments to explore the nature of explanation in the social sciences; an analysis of the mental states - beliefs, desires, and emotions - that are precursors to action; a systematic comparison of rational-choice models of behavior with alternative accounts, and a review of mechanisms of social...

Strong Feelings: Emotion, Addiction, and Human Behavior
ISBN: 9780262550369 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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. 16-18 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...

Securities Against Misrule: Juries, Assemblies, Elections
ISBN: 9781107649958 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book proposes a normative theory of collective decision making, inspired by Jeremy Bentham but not including his utilitarian philosophy. The central proposal is that in designing democratic institutions one should reduce as much as possible the impact of self-interest, passion, prejudice, and bias on the decision makers, and then let the chips fall where they may. There is no independently defined good outcome that institutions can track, nor is there any way of reliably selecting good decision makers. In addition to a long initial chapter that surveys theories of collective decision...

Making Sense of Marx
ISBN: 9780521297059 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 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...

Multiple Self
ISBN: 9780521346832 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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: 9780521662130 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

Solomonic Judgements: Studies in the Limitations of Rationality
ISBN: 9780521376082 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume of essays is very much a sequel to the two earlier collections by Jon Elster, Ulysses and the Sirens and Sour Grapes. His topic is rationality--its scope, its limitations, and its failures. Elster considers rational responses to the insufficiency of reason itself and to the "indeterminacies" in deploying rational choice theory, and discusses the irrationality of not seeing when, where, and what these are. A key essay that gives the collection its title examines disputes in cases of child custody that are paradigmatically indeterminate. Leaving aside cases where one parent is...

Institutional Design in Post-Communist Societies
ISBN: 9780521473866 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the problems and issues facing formerly communist states as they seek to develop a new democratic political order and a market economy. Studies of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia provide detailed empirical data concerning constitution making, the shaping of democratic institutions, marketization of the economy, and social policy. This new research is then linked to innovative theoretical material to offer a unique assessment of the difficulties of creating a new political order in the region.

Ulysses and the Sirens: Studies in Rationality and Irrationality
ISBN: 9780521269841 / Angielski / Miękka / 1984 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book was first published in 1984, as the revised edition of a 1979 original. The text is composed of studies in a descending sequence from perfect rationality, through imperfect and problematical rationality, to irrationality. Specifically human rationality is characterized by its capacity to relate strategically to the future, in contrast to the myopic 'gradient climbing' of natural selection. There is trenchant analysis of some of the parallels proposed in this connection between the biological and the social sciences. In the chapter on imperfect rationality the crucial notion is that...
