This article evaluates the rational choice theories from the perspectives of sociological theory. A central argument of this article is that the rational choice programs are heterogeneous, so the sociological rational choice theories, which have revised the core assumptions of neoclassical economics, can’t be regarded as “economics imperialism.” In order to treat the rational choice theories impartially, this article evaluates them from the internal and external theoretical criticism of neoclassical economics and the sociological rational choice theories, and also argues that there are critical problems of the rational choice programs in many ways: the verification of their propositions, the concept of rationality, the inclusion of emotions and norms, the mechanisms of micro-macro link, and the emergence of social order. In conclusion, this article suggests that the proposals of ration choice theories to sociologize the rational choice theories and to unify social sciences may be defeated. |
