Abstract: This book critically examines the concept of rationality, a central theme in economics and management theory, through the lens of an analytical philosophy framework. Alexander Styhre advocates for rationality to be grounded in practical reason, emphasizing the shared capacity to use language as a means of expressing ideas, beliefs and propositional attitudes.
