A Scholar's Quest
批判现代社会科学中占主导的计算和后果主义行动观，追溯其希腊根源及边沁、萨维奇和冯·诺伊曼的贡献，适合关注经济学方法论和行动理论的学者。
Modern portrayals of human action are overwhelmingly in a calculative and consequentialist tradition. Consequentialist reasoning is the basis for most of modern social and behavioral science and preeminently for economics. Action is seen as choice, and choice is seen as driven by anticipations, incentives, and desires. These ideas trace their roots at least to the Greeks, owe substantial parts of their modern manifestation to the formulations of Jeremy Bentham, and derive much of their contemporary power from the geniuses of L. J. Savage and John von Neumann.
