Description
Challenging the traditional view of human rationality, Minimal Rationality presents a more realistic theory based on the limits to rationality. Christopher Cherniak argues that the "perfectly rational agent" has had an over-inflated role in philosophy, psychology, and economics.
The book seeks to determine the minimal rationality an actual agent must possess, offering a fresh perspective on the human sciences. By exploring the constraints of rationality, Cherniak aims to provide a more nuanced understanding of human cognition and decision-making.
