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."
