"
Convention" was immediately recognized as a major contribution
to the subject and its significance has remained undiminished since
its first publication in 1969. Lewis analyzes social conventions as
regularities in the resolution of recurring coordination problems -
situations characterized by interdependent decision processes in
which common interests are at stake. Conventions are contrasted
with other kinds of regularity, and conventions governing systems
of communication are given special attention. This book is of
central importance to philosophers, linguists, social scientists,
legal theorists, and anyone interested in the role of convention in
the function of social behavior and language.
