Summary
Raymond Boudon addresses one of the most important questions in social science: How can social phenomena, understood as a product of human behavior, be explained in a satisfactory manner? The author argues that social theory finds itself in a deep crisis and the classic rational choice theory and its notion of instrumental rationality have not been able to keep their promises.
