A View of Rationality at the End of the Modern Age
A View of Rationality at the End of the Modern Age

Summary/Abstract: Rationality has accompanied people since they have set out on their journey through history. Every age perceives the route in a different way and attaches a different importance to it. The following lines are an attempt at introducing one of the possible views of rationality in the modern age, the age we have lived in since the advent of rationalism. It will concern specific views of rationality dictated by the struggles for formally correct accounts of what we observe in human actions and in organized communities, economic units in particular, and the struggles for technical reconstruction of rational systems we meet in the area of advanced technologies, for example in artificial intelligence and robotics. I will ultimately try to find connections between these modern approaches to rationality and the possible understanding of rationality in the period, the character of which is discussed within the framework of postmodernism and which will come only after the modern age has been internally exhausted.
