Action is  explained by a formal and finalistic theory which is connected with a  specific theory of institutions. The philosophical basis of the logic  of norm sentences and of other systems of practical thinking (formal  teleology, axiology, logic of preferences) is discussed. The author  criticizes traditional deontic logic and argues in favor of a genuine  logic of norms. The book gives a structure analysis of the so-called  practical inference and of nomic causal propositions. Besides a  critical account of von Wright's practical philosophy the author  offers critical analyses of discourse rationality (Habermas, Apel,  Alexy) and of Wittgenstein's views on philosophizing. \u003cbr\u003e  The book addresses readers interested in philosophical logic,  practical philosophy, sociology of institutions, legal philosophy, and  theory democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401064897\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5062-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240.0cm x160.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 320.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358984761484,"sku":"9789401064897","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401064897_4cc70cff-2c51-41e7-9f0c-e037ae222631.jpg?v=1757636301","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401064897","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
