Utilizan básicamente tres tipos de teorías: la teoría racional-utilitaria, la teoría causal que ve el comportamiento como causado por fuerzas sociales, culturales o biológicas, y la «psicología racional» en el sentido de Nisbet. Las tres teorías son importantes en el sentido de que han demostrado su capacidad para explicar convincentemente fenómenos enigmáticos. Se ha pretendido que las teorías del tipo I y II eran potencialmente de aplicación general. No lo son, dado que hay fenómenos familiares que son incapaces de explicar. Las del tipo III, por el contrario, pueden pretender generalidad. Amartya Sen ha argumentado que la teoría racional-utilitaria trata a los seres humanos como idiotas racionales. Las teorías del tipo II los tratan como idiotas irracionales. Estas agresivas metáforas llaman la atención sobre el hecho de que los seres humanos responden a las situaciones con las que se enfrentan ideando sistemas de argumentos que perciben como poderosos: esto es, siendo cognitivamente racionales. 22006-01-0120062006-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/13864https://dx.doi.org/urn:doi:10.5565/rev/papers/v80n0.1773reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.

As the social sciences deal with macrophenomena which are caused by individual human actions, they have to use a theory of human behaviour. They use basically three types of theory: the rational-utilitarian theory, the causalist theory which sees behaviour as caused by social, cultural or biological forces, and the «rational psychology» in Nisbet's sense. The three theories are important in the sense that they have shown their capacity to explain convincingly puzzling phenomena. Type I and II theories have been claimed to be potentially general. They are not since there are familiar phenomena they are unable to explain. Type III can by contrast be claimed to be general. Amartya Sen has made the point that the rational-utilitarian theory treats human beings as rational idiots. Type II treats them as irrational idiots. These aggressive metaphors draw the attention on the fact that human beings answer the situations they are confronted to by devising systems of arguments which they perceive as strong: by being cognitively rational. |
