About this audiobook

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 audiobook, 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, and using a wealth of historical and contemporary illustrations, Reason and Rationality marks a new development in Elster's thinking while at the same time providing a brief, elegant, and accessible introduction to his work.

    I need to reread this b0ook. The first time was kinda dense for me but I drew out a principle. The principle of non-indirection. This is one of those things I love about enjoying a science book, you can find out principles which you can not only use but also apply in your thesis and your exam paper writing. That's just it! That's why I am loving science. Not To Take Away my joy from GOD to it but to take my joy even deeper in HIM through it!
