Purpose, Meaning, and Action: Control Systems Theories in Sociology
This book marks an important milestone in the growing interest in Perceptual Control Theory among academic researchers -- in this case, seventeen leading sociologists. As one reviewer summarized, the research in this volume "exhibits a remarkable array and depth of empirical applications." The chapters in this volume point to new directions in sociological thinking and research grounded in an understanding of negative feedback. It is encouraging to see that PCT is gaining wider acceptance within disciplines concerned with human behavior and a better understanding of the world. (Palgrave Macmillan). edited by Kent A. McClelland and Thomas J. Fararo$90.00 detailsbuy |
