Popis: | Arguments for the use of the practical syllogism for rules theories entail a claim that the practical syllogism represents an alternative model of man for scientific research. This analysis evaluates that claim by: (1) examining the structure of the practical syllogism and its accompanying logics; (2) comparing the logics of the syllogism with logics of human behavior; (3) identifying the contraints upon research by the action theory assumptions of the syllogism; and, (4) projecting these constraints upon three areas of substantive research ‐ mass, interpersonal, and organizational communication. |
