Rationality and Decision Making: From Normative Rules to Heuristics offers a broad overview of both classic and very recent discussions concerning rationality and strategies of individual and group decision making. They are considered from a methodological, ethical, sociological, historical, cultural as well as an evolutionary perspective. Decision making, both rational and irrational, is treated in its complexity as an algorithmic, heuristic and intuitive process. The volume analyzes the theoretical and practical aspects of decision making in individual intentional endeavors and group or institutionalized undertakings. The analyses are mostly theoretical but they also appeal to empirical studies, proposed by philosophers and cognitive scientists who have studied logical, cognitive, biological, social and evolutionary aspects of human rationality. Contributors include Maria Jose Frapolli, Marek Hetmanski, Jan F. Jacko, Artur Koterski, Agnieszka Lekka-Kowalik, Sofia Miguens, Angeles J. Perona, Manueal de Pinedo, Joao Alberto Pinto, Krzysztof Polit, Marcin Rzadeczka, Rui Sampaio da Silva, Joanna Sokolowska, Barbara Trybulec, Marcin Trybulec, Neftali Villanueva, Monika Walczak, Jan Winkowski, Anna Wojtowicz, Jesus Zamora-Bonilla, and Antonio Zilhao.
