  • Gebundenes Buch

This book analyzes how the 'rival' approaches of social science, economics, and evolutionary science understand various dimensions of human interests, and what these human sciences can learn from each other. It examines practical examples of empirical studies within the three approaches along with their theoretical positions. Furthermore, the book develops an integrative framework based on the logic of 'social rationality', a rationality which underlies all the book's themes: stable and flexible, manifest and latent, culturally particular and universal, and individual and collective interests.
