Soft coverHartmut Kliemt, a professor at the University of Frankfurt, analyses in this book the empiricist response to the question of the origin and development of social institutions in general and of moral institutions in particular. Starting from Hume and gathering the contributions of the conceptions of social evolution and of the modern theory of norms, he sheds new light on the classic polemic between individualist and empiricist positions in social theory.
