Logics of Justification and Logics of Action

Abstract

This article attempts to contribute to the debate on institutional logics, logics of action, identities, and the like, as part of the larger debate about both the concept of institutions and the theory of how institutions influence our thought and behavior. It proposes a distinction between logics of justification and logics of action. The establishment of a metric for worth does not always have to be associated with a logic of justification. In addition, in some situations justification may not be necessary. Furthermore, a person may do something for a reason and claim to have done it for another reason.
