The Structural Dynamics of Social Thinking

Claes Gustafsson

Chapter 5 in The Production of Seriousness, 2012, pp 126-173 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Individual rationality is created by will, knowledge and logical cogency. In addition, social rationality, rationality in the community, is related to social existence and to society’s prevailing ‘values’, conceptions, morals and logic. This adds a new dimension in that these general memes filter and sediment — they develop, they are developed — the system of thought that is then returned to the individual. My interest here is in some aspects of the structural dynamics that form and reform memestructures, which are then again incorporated at the individual level.
