On the Nature of Social and Institutional Reality

Nine essays consider social rules as plural subject phenomena, normativity in legal context, democracy and the theory of institutions, and other questions of social ontology. Philosophers, legal theorists, and methodologists in social sciences delivered them to an international gathering in JyvÄskylÄ, Finland, in the summer of 1999. There is no index.
