Justifying the account This post gives three arguments for the reason-responsive consequentialist view of rational inquiry.

Are we mostly rational or mostly irrational?

Western #scholarship conceived of #human #psychology as peak #rationality until 20th century #cognitivePsychology challenged this #orthodoxy.

#DavidThorstad has 3 arguments for a middle way in his #openAccess book Inquiry Under Bounds from #OUP (2024).
