The paper discusses the logic of choice in social contexts by taking advantage of Adam Smith's insights into mirrroring and circumscription. It is argued that circumscription allows the identification of unambiguous binary relations when the 'uncircumscribed' set-up leads to apparent paradoxes. The implications of this finding for social coordination are examined.

Abstract
The paper discusses the logic of choice in social contexts by taking advantage of Adam Smith's insights into mirrroring and circumscription. It is argued that circumscription allows the identification of unambiguous binary relations when the 'uncircumscribed' set-up leads to apparent paradoxes. The implications of this finding for social coordination are examined.File in questo prodotto:
