The Palgrave Handbook of Methodological Individualism: Volume II

The Palgrave Handbook of Methodological Individualism: Volume II by Nathalie Bulle, Francesco Di Iorio
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 688 Pages | ISBN : 3031415078 | 16.1 MB

While methodological individualism is a fundamental approach within the social sciences, it is often misunderstood. This highlights the need for a discursive and up-to-date reference work analyzing this approach’s classic arguments and assumptions in the light of contemporary issues in sociology, economics and philosophy. This two-volume handbook presents the first comprehensive overview of methodological individualism. Chapters discuss historical and contemporary debates surrounding this central approach within the social sciences, as well as cutting edge developments related to the individualist tradition with philosophical and scientific implications. Bringing together multiple contributions from the world’s leading experts on this important tradition of theorizing, this collective endeavor provides teachers, researchers and students in sociology, economics, and philosophy with a reliable and critical understanding of the founding principles, key thinkers and intellectual development of MI since the late 19th century.

Delusions of Competence: The Near-Death of Lloyd’s of London 1970--2002

Delusions of Competence: The Near-Death of Lloyd’s of London 1970–2002 by Robin Pearson
English | EPUB | 2022 | 140 Pages | ISBN : 303094087X | 0.7 MB

This book examines the crisis at the famous insurance market, Lloyd's of London, during the late twentieth century, which nearly destroyed the 300-year-old institution. While rapid structural change resulting from system collapse is less common in insurance than in the history of other financial services, one exception was the Lloyd’s crisis. Hitherto, explanations of the crisis have focused on the effects of catastrophic losses and poor governance.

Retrieving Liberalism from Rationalist Constructivism, Volume II

Retrieving Liberalism from Rationalist Constructivism, Volume II: Basics of a Liberal Psychological, Social and Moral Order by Walter B. Weimer
English | EPUB | 2022 | 376 Pages | ISBN : 3030954765 | 1.4 MB

This second volume, Basics of a Liberal Psychological, Social and Moral Order, overviews developments in the theory of spontaneously ordered complex phenomena, the psychology of inference and expectation, the nature of anticipatory systems in the psychological and economic domains, and the evolution of scientific thought and knowledge. The book applies these insights to the nature of markets and morals, what education should consist of, and the problems of alienation and our existential malaise as we move into an increasingly abstract society. In doing so it also shows the unscientific nature of the rationalist constructivist approach of progressivism, and the disastrous consequences that would arise from following these positions.

Retrieving Liberalism from Rationalist Constructivism, Volume I: History and Its Betrayal by Walter B. Weimer
English | PDF | 2022 | 329 Pages | ISBN : 3030948579 | 2.8 MB

This first volume, History and its Betrayal, traces the development of major themes of liberalism from the increase in human population beyond the limits of the face-to-face society of tribalism and small groups up until the present day. It shows that the principles underlying liberalism are the evolutionary development of social organizations that have resulted from the complexity of human action rather than any conscious design or purpose.
