Martin Hollis (d.1998) was arguably the most incisive, eloquent and
witty philosopher of the social sciences of his time. His work is
appreciated and contested here by some of the most eminent of
contemporary social theorists. Hollis's philosophy of social action
routinely distinguished between understanding (rational) and
explanation (causal). He argued that the aptest account of human
interaction was to be made in terms of the first. Thus he focused
upon the human reasons, for, rather than upon the natural causes
of, action.
This volume, for the first time, brings together important essays
on the work of Hollis, from many different perspectives. These
include politics, sociology and economics in general; international
relations, rational choice theory, constitutionalism and the rule
of law as well as current concerns with relativism, Rousseauist
contractarianism, 'dirty hands' and 'buck-passing'.
