The book is a remarkable endeavor that delves into the diverse and intricate forms of rationality that shape social life. Having already been published in Spanish and Italian, it explores the profound influence of rationality by examining it through the lens of social theories, offering a challenging interpretation of human behavior. Recognizing the practicality of a robust theory in understanding our society, the book reflects on various theoretical approaches that provide valuable categories for comprehending and interpreting individual, organizational, and institutional actions. It proposes an in-depth analysis of a wide range of influential classics by renowned European and Anglo-American thinkers, including Dahrendorf, Mannheim, Marx, Popper, Weber, Habermas, Luhmann, Machiavelli, Pareto, Ardigò, Cesareo, Parsons, Schütz, Alexander, Bauman, Beck, Sennett, Antiseri, Boudon, Sen, Simon, among others. Through this comprehensive examination, the book sheds light on the intricate relationship between rationality, cognitive difficulties, and the realm of extra-rationality. Furthermore, it delves into the reasons behind unexpected actions and examines the strategic role played by ethics, rationality, and skills in postmodern societies, drawing upon the insights of Nussbaum and Piketty. This profound exploration of rationality and its implications in social life is a testament to the book's capacity to expand our understanding and enrich our intellectual journey.
