Among his recent books are Explaining Social Behavior and Closing the Books: Transitional Justice in Historical Perspective. One of the world's most important political philosophers, Jon Elster is a leading thinker on reason and rationality and their roles in politics and public life. In this short book, he crystallizes and advances his work, bridging the gap between philosophers who use the idea of reason to assess human behavior from a normative point of view and social scientists who use the idea of rationality to explain behavior. In place of these approaches, Elster proposes a unified conceptual framework for the study of behavior. Drawing on classical moralists as well as modern scholarship, and using a wealth of historical and contemporary illustrations, Reason and Rationality marks a new development in Elster's thinking while at the same time providing a brief, elegant, and accessible introduction to his work. "For those with some grounding in the study of human behaviour, Elster does a remarkable job of bringing together seemingly disparate concerns. . . . [T]his essay (as it effectively is) provides a concise overview of his dominant concerns and a useful introduction to his thought."---Ben Saunders, Political Studies Review "I highly recommend the book, which explains in clear and simple terms the complexity of human behavior and the logic that underlies it."---Aaron Ben-Ze'ev, European Legacy "Jon Elster's Reason and Rationality is characteristically erudite, elegant, and philosophically sophisticated. It beautifully encapsulates lines of research that Elster has been developing for years, and it serves as a wonderful introduction to his more technical work."-Daniel Weinstock, University of Montreal "This short book presents a broad synthesis of Jon Elster's work on reason and rationality, and their complex relations to interest and passion. With clarity and elegance, it presents some of the main positions of one of the most important authors on the subject. Reason and Rationality is a pleasure to read."-Dominique Leydet, Université du Québec à Montréal [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/15750417 [pa] => [publisher] => Princeton University Press [purchaseModel] => INSTANT )
