Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Por que es la accion, entre todas las actividades de la vida humana, especialmente importante? De que modo la ocupacion sistemica de la accion tiene importancia para las ciencias del hombre? Y de que manera se accede metodicamente a una comprension segura de la accion? Aquellas ciencias que quieran interpretar y explicar la accion humana deben empezar con una descripcion de la realidad diaria comprensible para nosotros los hombres. Pero a la vez, y en todos los ambitos de las ciencias sociales, hoy en dia esta totalmente aceptado que la teoria de la accion y la doctrina de las instituciones pertenecen al fundamento de una teoria general de la sociedad, y que estan necesariamente interrelacionadas desde un punto de vista teorico. Es facil imaginarse estas relaciones: la instituciones surgen en la accion y, una vez surgidas, gobiernan, por su parte, a la accion a traves de normas internalizadas y obligaciones externas. De ahi que, en el presente libro, se describa la accion, primero, como un obrar cotidiano del que todos nosotros todos los hombres de todos los tiempos somos capaces, y luego se analice el origen de la sociedad a traves de la accion, entendiendo por sociedad la continuidad vital de las instituciones. Un clasico en la materia, pues, que es tambien un apasionante absorbente ensayo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentos de teoría social (1990) es una de las principales aportaciones a la sociología de James S. Coleman, autor de referencia del individualismo metodológico y discípulo del funcionalista Robert K. Merton (1910-2003). El propósito de esta ambiciosa obra es construir una teoría social rigurosa que, desde la perspectiva de la acción racional, contribuya a explicar el funcionamiento de las sociedades contemporáneas. A través de una fundamentación teórica sólida pretende poder responder a preguntas como: ¿vamos hacia dónde queremos ir?, ¿podemos modificar la dirección?, ¿cómo elegimos una dirección? El marco conceptual desde el que Coleman desarrolla su teoría social se centra en explicar la conducta de un sistema social a través de tres componentes básicos: una relación de lo macro a lo micro, es decir, desde las estructuras y las instituciones a las normas sociales y los valores; en segundo lugar, la acción individual, entendidacomo maximización de la utilidad; y, finalmente, una relación de lo micro a lo macro basada en las reglas de acciones interdependientes. La combinación de los principios de la elección racional individual con una concepción sociológica de la acción colectiva, permiten a Coleman reformular la teoría social de una manera nueva y audaz. El resultado es un hito en la teoría sociológica, capaz de describir tanto la estabilidad como el cambio en los sistemas sociales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Con una mirada original, Gramáticas de la acción social revisa los conceptos y las prácticas cruciales de las ciencias humanas y sociales, en especial la sociología, la historia y la antropología. En sus páginas, Cyril Lemieux presenta una novedosa teoría de la acción que invita a reflexionar sobre la forma en que las distintas disciplinas describen, explican, comprenden, predicen y desarrollan un enfoque crítico sobre sus objetos. Así, toma como punto de partida la noción de gramática, ese conjunto de reglas que mujeres y hombres debemos seguir para que en cada sociedad se nos reconozca como capaces de actuar y juzgar correctamente. Lemieux, uno de los principales exponentes de la sociología pragmática, retoma una de las preocupaciones centrales de esa corriente –precisamente, la comprensión de la acción social– y aporta un sólido y amplio marco de referencias –de Durkheim a Chomsky o Wittgenstein–, que le permite desarrollar una lograda perspectiva propia. Así, este libro decisivo trae al debate una propuesta metodológica revolucionaria al sostener que sólo la cuidadosa descripción de los hechos observados crea la base material para identificar las razones e intenciones de los actores. De allí en más, pueden detectarse las reglas que esos actores siguen, de modo que sus acciones se vuelven más explicables o previsibles. Y todavía más importante: la base así construida permite examinar los recursos con que cuenta la investigación y repensar su potencial comprensivo y crítico. El resultado es una guía introductoria y ambiciosa a la vez, en que el análisis, el debate y la integración de perspectivas se muestran capaces de abarcar la pluralidad de alcances de la acción humana.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is somewhat surprising to find out how little serious theorizing there is in philosophy (and in social psychology as well as sociology) on the nature of social actions or joint act. hons in the sense of actions performed together by several agents. Actions performed by single agents have been extensively discussed both in philosophy and in psycho~ogy. There is, ac cordingly, a booming field called action theory in philosophy but it has so far strongly concentrated on actions performed by single agents only. We of course should not forget game theory, a discipline that systematically studies the strategic interac tion between several rational agents. Yet this important theory, besides being restricted to strongly rational acting, fails to study properly several central problems related to the concep tual nature of social action. Thus, it does not adequately clarify and classify the various types of joint action (except perhaps from the point of view of the agents' utilities). This book presents a systematic theory of social action. Because of its reliance on so-called purposive causation and generation it is called the purposive-causal theory. This work also discusses several problems related to the topic of social action, for instance that of how to create from this perspective the most central concepts needed by social psychology and soci ology. While quite a lot of ground is covered in the book, many important questions have been left unanswered and many others unasked as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta colección de ensayos documenta las tendencias principales de la carrera intelectual de Talcott Parsons durante su última décadade vida, lo que ya se había iniciado en su obra predecesora Sistemas sociales y evolución de la teoría de la acción. En aquel volumen, el profesor Parsons ayudó a resolver los problemas del estudio del sistema social al considerarlo dentro del marco estructural más amplio de la teoría general de la acción. Este libro alcanza un desarrollo más a fondo de esta teoría aclarando cuestiones anteriores y situándola en un contexto más amplio, el de la «condición humana», considerada como sistema teórico. Con el artículo «Un paradigma de la condición humana», inédito hasta la publicación de este volumen, Parsons lleva a cabo la primera declaración formal de sus esfuerzos y los de su grupo de colaboradores por desarrollar una estructura teorética que refleja las relaciones del sistema de acción con los otros componentes de la condición humana —el mundo físico, el mundo orgánico y la categoría no empírica de la experiencia que Parsons califica como «sistema télico»—. El ensayo representa un avance en los intentos del autor por construir un esquema conceptual comprensivo que permita el análisis sistemático de los «problemas de límites» del sistema de acción en sus relaciones con los otros subsistemas de la condición humana. Los catorce ensayos que preceden a «Un paradigma de la condición humana» preparan el camino para este último explorando, a diferentes niveles empíricos, el fenómeno de los límites del sistema de acción. La parte I trata aspectos de la sociología de la salud y la enfermedad, la parte II la sociología de la educación superior, y la parte III, la sociología de la religión. Cada ensayo es importante en el progreso de la teoría de la acción social, y, además, la introducción de cada parte y la introducción general del volumen aportan consideraciones relevantes a la evolución intelectual de Talcott Parsons. Así pues, Teoría de la acción y condición humana ofrece una nueva contribución a la autobiografía intelectual de Parsons, expresando las últimas direcciones que fue tomando su trabajo teorético.

Book excerpt: The papers contained in this volume are based on the contributions to an international, interdisciplinary Symposium entitled 'Analytical and Sociologi cal Action Theories' which took place in Berlin (West) on September 1-3, 1982. Each part comprises a main paper followed by two (in Part IV three) papers commenting on it. On the whole there is an equal division into philo sophical and sociological papers. In particular each main paper receives both inter- and innerdisciplinary comments. The Berlin Symposium was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Bonn) and, to a smaller extent, by the Freie UniversiHit Berlin; both grants are acknowledged gratefully. Berlin and Helsinki, May 1984 GOTTFRIED SEEBASS RAIMO TUOMELA vii GOTTFRIED SEEBASS INTRODUCTION I. It is a striking fact that the extended efforts of both sociologists and analytical philosophers to work out what is termed a 'theory of action' have taken little, if any, account of each other. Yet of the various reasons for this that come to mind none appears to be such as to foil any hopes for fruitful interdisciplinary exchange. Being concerned, apparently, with the same set of phenomena, viz. individual and social actions, the two theories can reasonably be expected to be partially overlapping as well as competitive and complementary. Accordingly each can eventually be shown by the other to need completion or revision. Whether or to what extent this is the case is subject to inquiry and discussion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toward a Structural Theory of Action: Network Models of Social Structure, Perception, and Action centers on the concept of social structure, perceptions, and actions, as well as the strategies through which these concepts guide empirical research. This book also proposes a model of status/role-sets as patterns of relationships defining positions in the social topology. This text consists of nine chapters separated into three parts. Chapter 1 introduces the goals and organization of the book. Chapters 2-4 provide analytical synopsis of available network models of social differentiation, and then use these models in describing actual stratification. Chapter 5 presents a model in which actor interests are captured. Subsequent chapter assesses the empirical adequacy of the two predictions described in this book. Then, other chapters provide a network model of constraint and its empirical adequacy. This book will be valuable to anthropologists, economists, political scientists, and psychologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Myth of Social Action, first published in 1996, is a powerful critique of the sociology of the time and a call to reject the prevailing orthodoxy. Arguing that sociological theory had lost its way, Colin Campbell mounts a case for a new 'dynamic interpretivism' a perspective on human conduct which is more inkeeping with the spirit of traditional Weberian action theory. Discussing and dismissing one by one the main arguments of those who reject individualistic action theory, he demonstrates that this has been wrongly rejected in favour of the interactional, social situationalist approach now dominating sociological thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended as a contribution to the foundations of the sciences of man, especially the social sciences. It has been argued with increasing frequency in recent years that the vocabulary of social science is to a large extent an action vocabulary and that any attempt to systematize concepts and establish bases for understanding in the field cannot, therefore, succeed unless it is firmly built on action theory. I think that these claims are sub stantially correct, but at the same time it seems to me that action theory, as it is relevant to social science, still awaits vital contributions from logic and philosophy. For example, it has often been said, rightly I believe, that situa tions in which two or more agents interact constitute the subject-matter of social science. But have we got an action theory which is rich enough or com prehensive enough to allow us to characterize the interaction situation? I think not. Once we have such a theory, however, we should be able to give an accurate account of central social phenomena and to articulate our concep tions about the nature of social reality. The conceptual scheme advanced in this book consists, in the first instance, of solutions to a number of characterization problems, i. e. problems which may be expressed by questions of the form "What is the nature of . . .
