The present paper consists of two parts, in which dealing with the functions of institutions the author is mainly looking for the answer to the question, at a highly abstract level of analysis, how the institutions determine the actions of individuals and thereby phenomena which can be interpreted as summaries, systems and consequences of actions. In the first part of the paper, he makes a distinction between the elementary functions of institutions, and outline the main features of the functions of institutions concerning actions. Then he makes a distinction between the normative and positive functions of institutions, and emphasize that the prevalence of normative functions corresponds to certain institutions and that the prevalence of positive functions also theoretically corresponds to the social institutions which are present in the so-called sphere of social life. In the second part of the paper, to be published in the next issue of this periodical, the author first points out that the distinction between the normative and positive functions is essential, particularly because the positive functions of institutions correspond to the institutional norms only contingently, thus they may be functions corresponding to the institutional norms, or differing from them. After that a distinction is made between the functions of institutions corresponding to explicit intentions, those corresponding to hidden intentions, and non-intended ones. Finally, he deals with the issue that on the one hand the distinction between the normative and positive functions of institutions, and on the other hand, the intended and non-intended functions of institutions do not correspond to each other, but there are certain connections between these typical functions.

In the second part of the paper an intepretation of the existing things is given in relation to individuals with the help of the components of need satisfaction, hence making individuals as well as their environment conceptually homogenous and jointly manageable. The concept of the components of need satisfaction is introduced; a distinction is made between the objects of needs as well as the means and conditions of need satisfaction within those components. Finally, the issue of intepretation is dealt with and it is pointed out how the individuals may understand their environment as a situation of action by subjective interpretation.

The present paper consists of two parts, in which dealing with the functions of institutions we are mainly looking for the answer to the question, at a highly abstract level of analysis, how the institutions determine the actions of individuals and thereby phenomena which can be interpreted as summaries, systems and consequences of actions. In the first part of the paper, published in the previous issue of this periodical, the author made a distinction between the elementary functions of institutions, and outlined the main features of the functions of institutions concerning actions. Then he made a distinction between the normative and positive functions of institutions, and emphasized that to the certain institutions the prevalence of normative functions and to the social institutions which are prevalent in the so-called sphere of social life the prevalence of positive functions theoretically correspond. In the second part of the paper, published in the current issue, the author first points out that the distinction between the normative and positive functions is essential particularly because the positive functions of institutions correspond to the institutional norms only contingently, thus they may be functions corresponding to the institutional norms, or differing from the institutional norms. After that a distinction is made between the functions of institutions corresponding to explicit intentions, those corresponding to hidden intentions, and non-intended ones.

The present paper consists of two parts dealing with the closely interrelated questions of action, the situation of action and interpretation. At first the concept of action, and behaviour related to it is defined in relation to motives in this part of the paper. The concepts of the possibility and ability of action as well as of the situation of action are introduced, and the major determining factors of actions are pointed out on a general level. Finally, in the first part the broader and narrower interpretations of the concept of need are introduced and the concept of need in a narrower sense of the term is defined.
