Understanding the rationality principle in economics as a functional a priori principle
TLDR
This paper argues that the rationality principle should be thought of as a functional a priori principle along the lines of a pragmatic theory of constitutive elements recently put forward by David Stump, which would explain the principle’s persistence and changing status.
