Rational Powers in Action: Instrumental Rationality and Extended Agency
Tenenbaum, Sergio (Professor of Philosophy, Professor of Philosophy, University of Toronto)
Rational Powers in Action presents a conception of instrumental rationality as governing actions that are extended in time with indeterminate ends. Tenenbaum argues that previous philosophical theories in this area, in focusing on momentary snapshots of the mind of idealized agents, miss central aspects of human rationality.
