Abstract

Social theorists from many different fields have hailed Game Theory as a framework that can unify the social sciences on a bedrock of mathematical reasoning, which relegates all previous attempts to provide a unifying framework for economics, political science, anthropology, organization theory etc. to social science's prehistory. After discussing in detail the five crucial theorems on which such claims are based, this paper assesses critically: (a) Game Theory's main results, and (b) the extent to which Game Theory offers a common method that can, potentially, unify the social sciences.
