Abstract

Due to his nature, man always asks questions about the meaning of things. All branches of knowledge and civilization are the answers he has given to the mystery of being, of his own and of other things. Here, the question about the meaning of action is also considerably important. In this study, we are going to analyze the answers given from a sociological view to the question about the meaning of human actions and their manner of formation and perception. We do this within a psychological and analogical framework while assessing the relationship between these answers and each of the current sociological paradigms and theories.
