Game Theory and Modernity

Abstract

Although the late modernity, the present one focuses on individuality and maximum freedom, game theory, although built on the same principles, can provide valid propositions only in well delimitated cases. Here we are in front of a metatheory problem – understanding the fact that although the pre-requisites of a theory are consonant with the pre-requisites of the social fact, the theory has a reduced validity degree in what concerns understanding the way social order is generated. This fact owed to the essential changes generated in structure of other components of late modernity, as delocalization of space and the time induced pressure.
