The Contexualization of Rationality: Problems, Concepts and Theories of Rationality

0/5 ( ratings)

In contemporary philosophy and social science the features of rationality play a new significant role in the theory of mind, language, action, decision theory and in questions of cross cultural understanding. The approaches do not conceive of rationality as a subjective a priori principle of reasoning; they present a different attitude towards questions of conceptualizing rationality, and this is a first step towards contextualized understanding of rationality. The reader presents an outline on contemporary orientations about the subject of understanding »rationality« along the main topics in philosophy, theory of language, and social science. Topics are radical interpretation, naturalized epistemology and normativity; intentions and the social aspects of rationality; concepts of explanation, justification and reality. Contributors: Timo Airaksinen, Peter French, Peter Gärdenfors, Roger F. Gibson, John Heil, David K. Henderson, Katri Kaalikoski, Keith Lehrer, Alfred R. Mele, Paul K. Moser, Philip Pettit, Gerhard Preyer, Nicholas Rescher, Julian Nida-Rümelin, Harvey Siegel, Raimo Tuomela, Alexander Ulfig, David Yandell.
