Rationality, methodological individualism, moderate evolution, Raymond Boudon, rational choice theoryAbstract
Against the tendency to ignore believes and reasons in explaining social phenomena, Raymond Boudon proposes a general and unified theory of rationality. His theory of ordinary rationality adopts a broader view than that of the traditional methodological individualism, like the rational choice theory, by defending that there is also a cognitive and axiological rationality. Among other implications, it leads to criticize holistic positions and to defend the existence of a moderate moral and political evolution.
