section::::rationality under rational choice theory.









































ecological rationality challenges rational choice theory (rct) as a normative account of rationality. according to rational choice theory, an action is considered rational if the action follows from preferences and expectations that satisfy a set of principles. these principles are often justified based on consistency considerations – for example, intransitive preferences and expectations inconsistent with available information are ruled out. rational choice theory therefore cashes out practical rationality as the optimal path of action given one's subjective representation of reality.
