How Do Institutions Steer Events?: An Inquiry into the Limits and Possibilities of Rational Thought and Action
John Wettersten
Theories of explanation in the social sciences vacillate between holism and individualism. This book contends that this has been a consequence of theories of rationality which assume that rationality requires coherent theories to be shown to be true. It claims that traditional explanations place unrealistic demands on individuals and institutions.
