Abstract
Peter T. Leeson and Tobias Wolbring agree with me that rationality, properly clarified, should continue to assume an important theoretical role in modern social science. We disagree, however, about the precise extent of its role. In my reply to the debate I focus on two related issues that have emerged. First, can and should the concepts of rationality, or rational choice theory (RCT) more generally, be employed as something more than just one tool among many? Second, can all cases of norm-following be satisfactorily subsumed by rationality and RCT analysis?
Peter T.Leeson和Tobias Wolbring同意我的观点，即理性如果得到适当的澄清，应该继续在现代社会科学中发挥重要的理论作用。然而，我们对其作用的确切程度意见不一。在对辩论的答复中，我着重谈到出现的两个相关问题。首先，理性的概念，或者更普遍的理性选择理论（RCT），是否可以也应该不仅仅是众多工具中的一个？第二，所有遵循规范的情况是否都能被理性和随机对照分析所满意地包容？
