And I use the reason-responsive consequentialist view to defend an interpretation of ecological rationality. Bounded rationality...

Another way to evaluate the propriety of a rule is in terms of ecological rationality, that is, how well the rule works given our minds and environments. This chapter articulates a number of factors...

...The article explores five parts of Cartesian thought that include individualism, internalism, rationalism, universalism, and human exceptionalism demonstrating the philosophical and psychological theories of rationality. Ecological rationality comes about through the coadaptation of minds...

...This chapter examines the extent to which policy measures taken in Sweden to achieve ecologically sustainable development shape and/or rearrange the structures and processes of governance in such a way that the collective outcome is ecologically rational and democratically acceptable. It explains...

...Fast and frugal school researchers emphasize that evolutionary pressures guarantee that we will generally do a good job making “ecologically rational” choices, using inborn capacities to process environmentally available information, even when we make judgments that seem illogical or under-informed...

Finally, the animal literature is particularly useful for testing questions of ecological rationality—where decision rules are adapted to the structure of the physical and social environment—because different species have evolved in different environments...

Rules of thumb from biology provide clearer examples of adaptation because animals can be studied in the environments in which they evolved. The range of examples is also much more diverse. To investigate them...

This chapter argues that even though the default assumption of universalism might not be evidentially rational, it is ecologically rational to have a bias in favor of universalism...

...Social rationality is a specific form of ecological rationality, one in which the environment consists of other humans. The program of social rationality explains human judgment and decision making in terms of the structure of social environments. This chapter illustrates how behaviors that look...
