Description
Indeterminacy and Society by Russell Hardin explores the pervasive nature of indeterminacy in strategic interactions. In this thought-provoking book, Hardin argues that traditional social theories often overlook or downplay the role of uncertainty, instead assuming pristine social order. Hardin examines how various theorists, from Hobbes to Rawls, have approached indeterminacy and why their approaches are flawed. He then outlines a new approach that assumes indeterminacy as the normal state of affairs, rather than an exception. This fresh perspective has implications for fields such as politics, law, philosophy, economics, and business management. By challenging widely held theoretical assumptions, Indeterminacy and Society offers a nuanced understanding of social interactions and their complexities.
