Rationally Choice ts/or rational decision is a collective term for different beginnings in the restaurant and social sciences. It is a theory of action. These beginnings generally attribute rational behavior to acting subjects (participants), whereby these subjects show a use-maximizing (or cost-minimizing) behavior due to certain preferences.

A goal and method

Historically the "theories of the rational choice" orient themselves at the classical economics Adam Smiths and the understanding sociology max of weber. They try to seize complex social actions with the help of as simple an model acceptance as possible. In the early application rationally of the Choice of beginning, approximately in the political sciences by William H., the objective social laws was to be found to Riker at the US-American University OF smelling ester, which possess universal validity and logical coherency as for instance those Newton's physics. Modern representatives rationally of the Choice of beginning refer to the advantages of the logical-deductive characteristics of mathematical models for radical theorizing. They refer besides to the advantages of the beginning for generating causal clarifying on the level of the individual.

People pictures of the rational choice reach to the modern sociology from the classical Homo oeconomicus up to the RREEMM (Restricted Resourceful Expecting Evaluating Maximising one). Over the of the "rational individual" there is no agreement just like over the weighting and emergence of the preferences.

Disputed points

While the rational decision is in the economic science in some theories an important paradigm (in other one certainly not, about parts of the principle aluminum agent theory), since it is sufficient in many models to proceed from rational decision it is particularly disputed in sociology and political science. One of the main points at issue is the used methodologische individualism; it is in the debate whether itself social behavior and really by the behavior of many individual individuals lets social laws determine, or whether social acting exhibits own regularities. A weaker version of this criticism accuses to the beginning of the rational decision to seize social problems structurally conditionally under-complex. On the other hand the strong Modellhaftigkeit of the beginning stands in the criticism: It can be proven empirically simply that humans act only limited rationally. Most theoreticians of the rational decision grant that, make however valid that rational use maximization represents a plausible basic assumption, from which from the models determined situations be adapted could.

Despite partial very violent discussions it is however indeterminable that beginnings, which are based on rational decision have a ever stronger influence both on the global and on the German social sciences.
