Homo Socialis: An Analytical Core for Sociological Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop an analytical core for sociology. We follow standard dynamical systems theory by first specifying the conditions for social equilibrium, and then studying the dynamical principles that govern disequilibrium behavior. Our general social equilibrium model is an expansion of the general equilibrium model of economic theory, and our dynamical principles treat the society as a complex adaptive system that can be studied using evolutionary game theory and agent-based Markov models based on variants of the replicator dynamic.

How Natural Selection Can Create Both Self- and Other-Regarding Preferences, and Networked Minds
Biological competition is widely believed to result in the evolution of selfish preferences. The related concept of the 'homo economicus' is at the core of mainstream economics. However, there is also experimental and empirical evidence for other-regarding preferences. Here we present a theory that explains both, self-regarding and other-regarding preferences. Assuming conditions promoting non-...
متن کاملElectronic Structure Investigation of Octahedral Complex and Nano ring by NBO Analysis: An EPR Study
To calculation non-bonded interaction of the [CoCl6]3- complex embedded in nano ring, we focus on the single wall boron-nitride B18N18 nano ring. Thus, the geometry of B18N18 nano ring has been optimized by B3LYP method with EPR-II (Electron paramagnetic resonance) basis set and geometry of the [CoCl6]3- complex has been optimized at B3LYP method with Aldrich’s VTZ basis set and Stuttgart RSC 1...

متن کاملFree Vibration and Buckling Analysis of Sandwich Panels with Flexible Cores Using an Improved Higher Order Theory
In this paper, the behavior of free vibrations and buckling of the sandwich panel with a flexible core was investigated using a new improved high-order sandwich panel theory. In this theory, equations of motion were formulated based on shear stresses in the core. First-order shear deformation theory was applied for the procedures. In this theory, for the first time, incompatibility problem of...
متن کاملThe Concepts of Holism and Reductionism in Sociological Theory
The present study is an attempt to clarify some aspects of the controversy between holism and reductionism in sociological theory. What are the theoretical and non-theoretical motives behind classical holistic and reductionistic approaches to sociological theory? Are they chiefly ontological, epistemological, normative or of a more practical nature? An analytical framework making, it possible t...
