This thought-provoking and ambitious book is a sustained critique of the conventional understanding of what it means to "explain" something in the social sciences. This paperback edition includes a new preface, in which Martin connects The Explanation of Social Action to deep neural networks that are important to the study of artificial intelligence and to the development of computational social science.
