Action is conceived of as an intentional behavior of an individual
or of an institutional subject; it is determined by information
processing, namely by a process in which pieces of descriptive and
practical information are involved. Action is explained by a formal
and finalistic theory which is connected with a specific theory of
institutions. The philosophical basis of the logic of norm
sentences and of other systems of practical thinking (formal
teleology, axiology, logic of preferences) is discussed. The author
criticizes traditional deontic logic and argues in favor of a
genuine logic of norms. The book gives a structure analysis of the
so-called practical inference and of nomic causal propositions.
Besides a critical account of von Wright's practical philosophy the
author offers critical analyses of discourse rationality (Habermas,
Apel, Alexy) and of Wittgenstein's views on philosophizing. The
book addresses readers interested in philosophical logic, practical
philosophy, sociology of institutions, legal philosophy, and theory
democracy.
