Among the active participants in the rationality debate, Daniel Kahneman and Gert Gigerenzer are a pleasure to read. We recommend two books where they present their take on the relationship between intuition and rationality in an accessible way: Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow (2011) and Gigerenzer’s Gut Feelings: The Intelligence of the Unconscious (2007).

The Science article by Tversky and Kahneman, ‘Judgment under uncertainty: Heuristics and biases’ (1974), is essential for anyone interested in reasoning and rationality. This and other important papers in the heuristics and biases programme are included in a collection of papers: Judgment under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases (1982), edited by Kahneman, Slovic, and Tversky. To get a good understanding of the rationality debate, see the articles by Kahneman and Tversky and by Gigerenzer in the journal Psychological Review (1996). It would also be helpful to read the following: Without Good Reason: The Rationality Debate in Philosophy and Cognitive Science (1996) by Edward Stein, where the notion of the standard picture of rationality is introduced and discussed; the paper by Richard Samuels, Stephen Stich, and Michael Bishop (2002), where the debate is summarized and reinterpreted; and Chapter 1 of Lisa Bortolotti’s Irrationality (2014), where the significance of the debate for our appreciation of human rationality is examined.
