商品簡介
Thirteen essays critique rational choice theory, which is flourishing in sociology and increasingly influential in other disciplines. The contributors UK academics believe the theory provides an inadequate conceptualization of all facets of decision-making: the individuals who make a decision, the process by which decisions are made, and the context within with decision-making takes place. The critique is grounded in discussion of a range of social issues that demonstrate the theory's inability to deal with empirical problems from decisions about marriage to crimes against humanity. The editors are sociologists with the U. of Warwick, UK. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
