Summary

This book deals with the cognitive foundation of the theory of social action. The Social Sciences are still guided by models of social action, far from the empirical reality of the psychology of action. While Economics seems to have made greater progress in accepting the changes of theory of action derived from Cognitive Science (see, for example, the Nobel prize 2002 for Economics awarded to Daniel Kahneman), Sociology is still being oriented on the dualism of Hermeneutics vs. Structuralism, which leaves very little room for a cognitive theory of social action. The unique features of the book are its combination of epistemology, philosophy of mind and cognitive science in order to bear up on the methodologies of social sciences and in particular the methodological individualism. Methodological cognitivism is proposed as an alternative to the holistic character of structuralism, to the intentionalist and rationalist features of methodological individualism, and to the relativistic character of hermeneutics and ethnomethodology.
