THE TELEOLOGICAL PROBLEM OF ECONOMIC RATIONALITY

Rodrigo Laera — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The objective of this work is to investigate the teleological problem represented by economic rationality, addressing three fundamental issues: (i) utility maximization that equates economic rationality with profit-seeking; (ii) the realization of ends through incremental rationality mechanisms; and (iii) the dependence of bounded rationality on life cycles. While these three issues are not the only ones that could be addressed, they should be considered relevant for a better understanding of the relationship between teleological rationality and economics.

“THE POLIS”, ITS NECESSITY, STRUCTURE, AND DEGRADATION

Plato not always stands intellectually on a same hight of intelligence; sometimes, he seems to have not understood that he had degraded the level of his reflection. This study is not dedicated to such intellectual moments, rather to presenting some of the fundamental points of his intuitions on the transcendental structure of human reality, with which he discovers the logical and economical foundations of the “polis”, as well as, for example, the sameness of the ontological structure both of men and women. Plato presents to the world the logical and ontological foundation of the “polis”.

AMERICAN CATECHETICAL POETRY

The person belongs to an event that outlines the form of an instant here, now; where the metamorphosis of places and stories de-personalizes the place into an elsewhere and time fluidifies into an indeterminacy of ages and an ou-topical history, making the person linked to the finding of himself in what American poetry has identified as a haunted sky, I-divided, emphasis of command: the perception becomes, redemptively, generational palingenesis, unity of archetypal presence, but also inspiration to a collective call of disenchantment, to rediscover the traces of a pastoral sense of mystical awakening, possible in community catechesis of historical witness and belonging to a place declined to the present, where also memory, anthropological protection and ontological guarantee of the past, is a safeguard clause of the present.
