With Beyond Rationality, Kenneth R. Hammond, one of the most
respected and experienced experts in judgment and decision-making,
sums up his life's work and persuasively argues that decisions
should be based on balance and pragmatism rather than rigid
ideologies.
Hammond has long focused on the dichotomy between theories of
correspondence, whereby arguments correspond with reality, and
coherence, whereby arguments strive to be internally consistent. He
has persistently proposed a middle approach that draws from both of
these modes of thought and so avoids the blunders of either
extreme. In this volume, Hammond shows how particular ways of
thinking that are common in the political process have led to the
mistaken judgments that created our current political crisis. He
illustrates this argument by analyzing penetrating case studies
emphasizing the political consequences that arise when decision
makers consciously or unconsciously ignore their adversaries'
particular mode of thought. These analyses range from why Kennedy
and Khruschev misunderstood each other to why Colin Powell erred in
his judgments over the presence of weapons of mass destruction in
Iraq. For anyone concerned about the current state of politics in
the U.S. and where it will lead us, Beyond Rationality is required
reading.
