    Sammanfattning : In this essay I attempt to show that both the weak interpretation and the strong interpretation of what John Searle calls the principle of self–referentiality for social phenomena should be abandoned. This, I argue, is because they give rise to what I, following Burman (2023), call ”location problems” for opaque social phenomena and for social wholes, as well as a faulty understanding of social power.

  3. 2. Prefigurative politics as applied to the climate crisis : A game theoretical assessment

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Författare :Nathan Carlshamre; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Prefigurative politics; game theory; prefiguration; climate activism; activism; environmental activism; tragedy of the commons; anarchism; left-libertarianism; political theory; Montgomery bus boycott; constructive program; ecotage; non-violence; violence; cartel theory; salience;

    Sammanfattning : In this paper, I make use of the game-theoretical concepts of cartel theory and coordination theory via salience and Schelling points in order to assess the viability of prefigurative politics when used by group actors to address the particular case of the climate crisis. I show that prefigurative politics as a strategy faces significant systematic disadvantages when used by social movements attempting to address climate change as compared to when it is used by social movements focused on other causes.
