CRUZ REVUELTAS, Juan Cristóbal. Policy Implications of the Theory of Rationality of Raymond Boudon. Andamios [online]. 2014, vol.11, n.25, pp.341-359. ISSN 2594-1917.

Against the tendency to ignore believes and reasons in explaining social phenomena, Raymond Boudon proposes a general and unified theory of rationality. His theory of ordinary rationality adopts a broader view than that of the traditional methodological individualism, like the rational choice theory, by defending that there is also a cognitive and axiological rationality. Among other implications, it leads to criticize holistic positions and to defend the existence of a moderate moral and political evolution.

Palavras-chave : Rationality; methodological individualism; moderate evolution; Raymond Boudon; rational choice theory.
