A Reformulation of Social Action Theory

Sidney M. Willhelm

American Journal of Economics and Sociology, 1967, vol. 26, issue 1, 23-32

Abstract: ABSTRACT.— This paper presents a limited number of concepts that comprise social action theory. By establishing greater precision in defining the basic concepts as goals, values, norms, means and social conditions, a reformulation of the “unit‐act” is set forth. The interrelationships among these concepts for the manifestation of social volition are discussed in keeping with the voluntaristic orientation.
