This book is an expanded and revised edition of the author's critically acclaimed volume Nuts and Bolts for the Social Sciences. In twenty-six succinct chapters, Jon Elster provides an account of the nature of explanation in the social sciences. He offers an overview of key explanatory mechanisms in the social sciences, relying on hundreds of examples and drawing on a large variety of sources-psychology, behavioral economics, biology, political science, historical writings, philosophy and fiction. Written in accessible and jargon-free language, Elster aims at accuracy and clarity while eschewing formal models.

翻过：作者是Raymond Aron的学生。1 can't rely on functional explanation, which uses consequence as cause; 2 rational- choice theory has less explanatory power.
评分value the first two chapters.
评分解释力上非常有野心，理论抽象上很有建树的著作。从理性和有限理性的角度，解释人类社会中方方面面的理性和看似非理性的行为。对于经济学专业或理性选择学派的人，读这本书很顺畅，也很长见识，因为还引用到了心理学和神经科学的一些成果。
评分充满了个人风格但又不服不行的方法论必读书目
