Pathologies of Rational Choice Theory pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
This is the first comprehensive critical evaluation of the use of rational choice theory in political science. Writing in an accessible and nontechnical style, Donald P. Green and Ian Shapiro assess rational choice theory where it is reputed to be most successful: the study of collective action, the behavior of political parties and politicians, and such phenomena as voting cycles and Prisoner's Dilemmas. In their hard-hitting critique, Green and Shapiro demonstrate that the much heralded achievements of rational choice theory are in fact deeply suspect and that fundamental rethinking is needed if rational choice theorists are to contribute to the understanding of politics. In their final chapters, they anticipate and respond to a variety of possible rational choice responses to their arguments, thereby initiating a dialogue that is bound to continue for some time.
现在好像再论及此书作为政治学理性选择手法的案内作的人已经不多了(笑)。学者们已经不大再遵循Shpiro那个时代的研究准则理解理性选择手法和它在政治学里所起到的作用了不是吗?嘛,虽然时至如今还有,我们有太多的抽象模型,但是缺少实验数据的支撑和政治学的发展过于落后,形式化的理论是王道!这样的议论。不过,多少我们至少可以理解,不存在所谓单一的理性选择理论或者范式。所谓必定存在经验验证可能的投票悖论和批判类似此种表述是循环论法的议论多少也显得有些极端。尽管同样是数学的表述,但是在事实把握和规范议论的层次上,理性选择理论有着很不一样的抽象度。所谓系统性验证某一在形式表述上较为抽象的模型,自身就是混淆了empirical和positive theory的区别。自然,两者并非没有关系,但是此书写得并不好。
