This book, originally published in 1959, makes explicit the social
principles which underlie the procedures and political practice of
the modern democratic state. The authors take the view that in the
modern welfare state there are porblems connected with the nature
of law, with concepts like rights, justice, equality, property,
punishment, responsibility and liberty and which modern
philosophical techniques can illuminate.
The concepts of rationality that are used by social scientists in
the formation of hypotheses, models and explanations are explored
in this collection of original papers by a number of distinguished
philosophers and social scientists. The aim of the book is to
display the variety of the concepts used, to show the different
roles they play in theories of very different kinds over a wide
range of disciplines, including economics, sociology, psychology,
political science and anthropology, and to assess the explanatory
and predictive power that a theory can draw from such concepts.
