Exploring the complexities of rationality, this collection of essays critiques the limitations of traditional economic theories that view individuals as mere preference-seekers.

Drawing on twenty-five years of interdisciplinary work, the essays address themes such as rational choice and the interplay between roles and reason. With a blend of philosophical insight and engaging prose, the work appeals to both philosophers and social scientists.
