In personal and public affairs alike we constantly confront the need for deciding among available alternatives. Philosophers have long been preoccupied with the lines of thought and principles of deliberation in resolving such choices rationally. Sensible Decisions synthesizes Nicholas Rescher's contribution to this discussion over the years. This book is concerned with the procedural constraints that rationality imposes on our choices in the social and technological reality in which we operate. Rescher's prime aim is to illuminate some of the theoretical complications and perplexities that characterize rational procedure in matters of decision making at the public policy level.
