Julian Nida-Rümelin Libri

Exploring the intersection of economic rationality and practical reason, this collection of essays addresses the limitations of standard economic theories. It highlights the need for a multidisciplinary approach, integrating insights from philosophy, sociology, and psychology to enhance understanding. The authors argue that while decision theory offers valuable perspectives, it often fails to encompass the complexities of practical rationality. By transcending disciplinary boundaries, the volume aims to foster a more comprehensive view that reconciles economic and philosophical frameworks.

Die Sammlung versammelt über fünfzig Beiträge von Wissenschaftlern, Politikern, Theologen und Schriftstellern, die persönliche Antworten auf die Frage nach dem menschlichen Selbstverständnis geben. Sie bietet ein kritisches und konstruktives Spektrum aktueller Positionen, eingeleitet von Volker Gerhardt und anderen.
