ABSTRACT
This article discusses several problems of the micro-macro model, as it is depicted in its simplest form as the Coleman scheme. There is a macroproposition, its independent variables have causal effects on independent variables of a microtheory, and the dependent variable of the micro-theory has a causal impact on the dependent variable of the macroproposition. This scheme is used to identify the basic possible problems of micro-macro modeling which are then discussed. Strengths and possible weaknesses of a wide version of the theory of rational action are analyzed. The article further provides a detailed analysis of the relationships between the micro- and macro-level.
