Theories of Rationality
Theories of rationality explore how people make logical and consistent decisions. Some assume individuals always choose options that maximize their benefits (rational choice theory). Others recognize that emotions, habits, or biases influence decisions, leading to behaviors that are not always "rational" in a strict sense. Some theories focus on how people reason and think about problems, emphasizing logical deduction or practical judgment. Overall, these theories seek to understand the principles behind rational decision-making, balancing ideal standards with real-world complexities of human behavior.
