"For philosophers familiar with mathematical economics, this books is a good survey of research on the dynamics of social behavior. It is a sophisticated introduction to the latest techniques for explaining social norms and similar beavioral regularities." Paul Weirich, Philosophy in Review

Reseña del editor:

In the social sciences norms are sometimes taken to play a key explanatory role. Yet norms differ from group to group, from society to society, and from species to species. How are norms formed and how do they change? This 'state-of-the-art' collection of essays presents some of the best contemporary research into the dynamic processes underlying the formation, maintenance, metamorphosis and dissolution of norms. The volume combines formal modelling with more traditional analysis, and considers biological and cultural evolution, individual learning, and rational deliberation. In filling a significant gap in the current literature this volume will be of particular interest to economists, political scientists and sociologists, in addition to philosophers of the social sciences.
