Rationality

Philosophy Date: 8th November 2014 What is the connection between rationality and morality in Kant’s view? Morality and rationality is depicted by Kant as an action of dignity thus the connection between rationality and morality in Kant’s view is dignity. In the first and second paragraph I will discuss and argue what it morality and rationality and what is a moral and rational act. Then I will discuss the connection between rationality and mortality followed by a comparison and argument.…

forms of rationality. • Maximizing rationality- the rationality of classical economics, with perfect information and pure knowledge of all viable options. • Bounded rationality (the basis or transactional theory) assumes that most transactions occur with limited information (though actors try to be rational). In this situation people try to use problem solving and decision-making processes to negotiate a transaction and monitor and adapting the transaction over time. • Organic rationality is…

He believed that these bureaucratic structures were using rationality. There were two different types of rationality that he would work for bureaucracy which are substantive rationality and formal rationality. A substantive rationality is when people are using their social values, ethics, and morals to guide their actions. A formal rationality is when it is running by rules and regulations which can also be called “iron-cage” of rationality which is what people specifically set out to do.…

start by describing his ethical theory, which includes his account of virtue ethics, derived from his criticism of modern ethical thought. I will then explain how he is regarded by some people as a relativist due to his stress on tradition for rationality and finish by demonstrating how he is not a relativist because of the justification that some traditions are better than others. MacIntyre deeply criticises modern ethical thought and provides an account of what he thinks has gone wrong. For…

the basic needs of human beings and focusing on satisfying higher levels of needs, such as beauty and luxuries. Trying to specialize in these superb jobs, therefore, requires the bronze person to be always driven by his appetites, rather than his rationality, in order to make his own profits as much as possible. Consequently, it is obvious that a bronze person should always directed by his appetites to specialize in his own task as proficiently as possible, which illustrates how this bronze…

intentionality and rationality. Additionally, the Windmill Argument will be explored as it relates not only to intentionality and rationality, but also to the Computational Theory of Mind and how the existence of computer systems challenges the validity of the argument. Cognition is achieved by a system (real or artificial) if it can undergo “rational transitions between intentional states”. In order to fully grasp this concept, one must learn what is meant by intentionality and rationality.…

Bounded rationality takes into account the limited available information anyone can process at a given time (Bachmann 2004: 49). The six propositions (apply examples from the case study where applicable) The rational choice model developed by Cornish and Clarke (Bachmann…

Theoretical Framework Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory of human learning describes learning as a social process and the origination of human intelligence in society or culture. The major theme of Vygotsky’s theoretical framework is that social interaction plays a fundamental role in the development of cognition. Vygotsky believed everything is learned on two levels. First, through interaction with others, and then integrated into the individual’s mental structure.…

Kant implies that any being that has autonomy and rationality should always treat others with autonomy and rationality as an end. Yet, Kant doesn 't clearly state how people are supposed to treat other humans as an end. The Principle of Humanity doesn 't give us a road map on how to apply a moral action. Kant would most likely reply to this response by saying that people have autonomy and rationality and should know what the moral action of a situation is. Even with Kant’s…

This theme can be closely tied with the theme of duty, in that rationality wins over imagination due to the rural lifestyle of those living in Frosts poems. The people living in rural New England Frost refers to in his poetry are required to make a decision between rationality and imagination; as if they cannot exist in unison. In Frost's poetry the adults generally uphold their rationality as an affliction of duty, but there are certain instances when the suggestion of imagination is almost too…
