226A mistake about causality in social scienceRussian Sociological Review 12 (1): 139-157. 2013.The article considers the problem of actions–beliefs link.

It is mistaken because it proposes that, firstly, beliefs and actions are distinct and separately identifiable social phenomena and, secondly, causal connection consists in constant conjunction. MacIntyre, instead, proposes, taking as a start…Read more
