Rethinking the "Rational" Society: A Plea for Some Broad-Based Philosophizing.
Clark, Mary E.
Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, v3 p5-17 1992
The average university curriculum is based on a mistaken form of rationality. Universities have failed to critically examine the rational world view, including its fundamental assumptions and their consequences. Negative social effects of the rational assumptions in biology and economics suggest the need for a better definition of rationality and more appropriate world view. (JB)
