Explaining Human Behavior: Consciousness, Human Action and Social Structure

by Paul F. Secord

Eminent European and American contributors explore ways of synthesizing psychological, philosophical, and social scientific explanations of social behaviour. Innovative essays explain behaviour through analyses of the relationships between objective physical and social conditions; human consciousness and sensory perceptions; individual people's own understanding of themselves in society; and social contexts and structures of which they are not aware. ...a remarkable anthology containing a range of interdisciplinary discussions of issues in the explanation of human action' -- "Ethics, July 1983"
