This collection of original essays examines the controversy over
and attacks on rationality in the methodologies of the humanities
and the physical and social sciences. These essays represent the
thinking of a wide variety of philosophers, psychologists,
historians, classicists, and economists about the role of
rationality in thought and action. Reflecting the differing
perspectives of their authors' disciplines, as well as the
centrality of rationality to those disciplines, they are important
additions to a debate that has been going on for some twenty years.
Beginning with an introductory essay in which K.D. Irani covers the
various ways in which rationality can be approached, the body of
the book is divided into five sections dealing with various aspects
of the issue. Respectively, they are concerned with rationality as
it relates to ethical and social thought and action; general
scientific thought and the particular disciplines of economics,
history, and law; the analytic and hermenutic approaches to
communications and learning; and the contrasting classical
traditions of ancient Greece and China. In the final section, two
differing theories concerning the nature of rationality itself are
presented. A list of suggested further readings completes the
volume.
