Lässt sich menschlicher Geist, lassen sich unsere Überzeugungen, Gedankengänge, Wünsche und Absichten mit rein naturwissenschaftlich orientierten Methoden erschöpfend erfassen, wie eine Version des Naturalismus behauptet? Hier wird ein Argument gegen diese Auffassung entwickelt. Geist ist auf vielfältige Weise mit Rationalität verbunden, und was als rational gilt, ist nicht ein für alle Mal gegeben, sondern muss immer neu verhandelt werden. Dabei kommt eine Besonderheit des menschlichen Geistes zum Tragen: die Fähigkeit, bewusst über die eigenen Begriffe nachzudenken. Wir können Begriffe vernünftig an gegebene Umstände anpassen und weiterentwickeln – etwa in unserer alltäglichen Lebenswelt, in der Logik oder in der Naturwissenschaft. Ein Mittel dafür sind metasprachliche Diskurse, in denen zur Debatte steht, was wir mit bestimmten Wörtern sinnvollerweise meinen sollten. Semantische Konzepte wie das der Bedeutung sind Werkzeuge in solchen Klärungs- und Präzisierungsdiskursen. Die Entwicklung der Begriffe und damit auch die unseres rationalen, vernünftigen Weltverhältnisses sind in einem substantiellen Sinne offen: Wir sind aktiv an ihnen beteiligt und können nicht vorausberechnen, wie sie verlaufen werden. Das spricht gegen die Möglichkeit vollständig empirischer Theorien über unseren Geist und so auch gegen den Naturalismus. Es zeigt sich, dass diese philosophischen Befunde zur Struktur tatsächlicher psychologischer Forschung passen.

“Reason” and “rationality” are, today, problematic notions: considered for a long time, in the history of Western thought, as distinctive traits of man and of the Euro-American civilization, from a certain point onwards they have been called into question and ripped apart by the crisis and the malaise of the latter. In the light of the most recent controversies and reflections on the subject developed over the first half of the 20th century, this book aims to riegnite the debate on “ratio” with the intention of highlighting – through a series of “case studies” – the fine texture of the multiple meanings and uses of the notion of reason, but also to question the different “eras” of reason by attempting to reconstruct its “history”. The essays included in this volume, therefore, contextualise and analyse the meanings and ambiguities of the term “ratio” and its derivatives within the framework of the many discussions that have marked its history from the earliest modernity, when the concept assumed new configurations with respect to the uses attested in Ancient and Medieval thought, to the contemporary debate. “Ragione” e “razionalita” sono oggi nozioni problematiche: considerate a lungo, nella storia del pensiero occidentale, come tratti distintivi dell’uomo e della civiltà euro-americana, da un certo punto in poi sono state messe in discussione e lacerate dalla crisi e dal malessere di quest’ultima. Alla luce delle controversie più recenti e delle riflessioni sul tema sviluppate nella prima metà del Novecento, questo libro si propone di riaprire la querelle sulla ratio con l’intento di mettere in luce – attraverso una serie di “casi di studio” – la grana sottile dei molteplici significati e usi della nozione di ragione, ma anche di interrogarsi sulle differenti “epoche” della ragione provando a ricostruirne la “storia”. I saggi contenuti in questo volume, dunque, contestualizzano e analizzano le accezioni e le ambiguità del termine ratio e dei suoi derivati nel quadro delle molteplici discussioni che ne hanno ritmato la storia a partire dalla prima modernità, quando il concetto assunse nuove configurazioni rispetto agli usi attestati nel pensiero antico e medioevale, sino al dibattito contemporaneo .

"How do otherwise considerate human beings do cruel things and still live in peace with themselves? Drawing on his agentic theory, Dr. Bandura provides a definitive exposition of the psychosocial mechanism by which people selectively disengage their moral self-sanctions from their harmful conduct. They do so by sanctifying their harmful behavior as serving worthy causes; they absolve themselves of blame for the harm they cause by displacement and diffusion of responsibility; they minimize or deny the harmful effects of their actions; and they dehumanize those they maltreat and blame them for bringing the suffering on themselves. Dr. Bandura's theory of moral disengagement is uniquely broad in scope. Theories of morality focus almost exclusively at the individual level. He insightfully extends the disengagement of morality to the social-system level through which large-scale inhumanities are perpetrated...Moral disengagement will transform your thinking about how otherwise considerate people can behave inhumanely and still feel good about themselves." -- Book jacket.

"The McDonaldization of Society is George Ritzer's seminal work of critical sociology that updates and applies Max Weber's rationalization thesis to the the late 20th and early 21st century. The central premise of McDonaldization is that the fast food restaurant has become the model for the rationalization process today, creating a system of operation based on efficiency, calculability, predictability, and control that has been adopted across a wide ranges of businesses, organizations, and social institutions"--
