[From Rick Marken (930616.1030)]
Bill Powers (930616.0900 MDT)--
I go along
with Tom Bourbon and Rick Marken: what's your evidence?
Oded Maler (930616.II) --
In fact, what you suggest is sociological reductionism: "every
social-historical phenomena can be explained in terms of individual
humans".
That's "evidence" Oded; not "non-sequiter".
But you are right about one thing; given your definition of it, I am
definitiely a "sociological reductionist" (at least until you provide
EVIDENCE of a "social-historical" variable that is under control, but not
by the people who make up the society - history of which it is a function).
Best
Rick
