| Abstract | This essay discusses the significance of ritual and ritualized behavior for our common notion that much of our behavior can be explained by reference to rules. It shows how the "idea of the rule" can only be the product of a process of cognitive development over time and how, far from explaining behavior, itself demands explanation. |
