The Architecture of Reason : The Structure and Substance of Rationality

This book sets out a comprehensive theory of rationality applicable to both practical and theoretical reason.

In both domains, Audi explains the role of experience in grounding rationality, delineates the structure of central elements - particularly belief, desire and action - and attacks the egocentric view of rationality.

He defends a rational altruism that supports important moral principles, and concludes with an account of global rationality - the overall rationality of persons.
