Social Emergence（ISBN=9780521606370） 英文原版 免费 夸克云 mobi azw3 pdf 下载 chm snb

　　Can we understand important social issues by studying

individual personalities and decisions? Or are societies somehow

more than the people in them? Sociologists have long believed that

psychology can't explain what happens when people work together in

complex modern societies. In contrast, most psychologists and

economists believe that if we have an accurate theory of how

individuals make choices and act on them, we can explain pretty

much everything about social life. Social Emergence takes a new

approach to these longstanding questions. Sawyer argues that

societies are complex dynamical systems, and that the best way to

resolve these debates is by developing the concept of emergence,

focusing on multiple levels of analysis - individuals,

interactions, and groups - and with a dynamic focus on how social

group phenomena emerge from communication processes among

individual members. This book makes a unique contribution not only

to complex systems research but also to social theory.

书籍介绍

Sociologists have long believed that psychology alone can't explain what happens when people work together in complex modern societies. In contrast, most psychologists and economists believe that we can explain much about social life with an accurate theory of how individuals make choices and act on them. R. Keith Sawyer argues, however, that societies are complex dynamical systems, and that the best way to resolve these debates is by developing the concept of emergence, paying attention to multiple levels of analysis--individuals, interactions, and groups--with a dynamic focus on how social group phenomena emerge from communication processes among individual members.
