Rationalism gradually attained its dominant position in Western culture from the nineteenth century. By rationalism we mean a way of life dominated by positive science as the ultimate source of truth and/or by utility maximization and rational choice as the ultimate criteria for ethics and management. The consequences of this dominance of the rational in Western culture and business life are ambiguous. On the credit side we find growing prosperity and improved material conditions of life and life expectations. On the debit side are the collapse of communities and the overexploitation of our ecosystems, causing unprecedented problems.
