Summary
Gerd Gigerenzer's work examines the rationality of individuals not from the perspective of logic or probability, but from the point of view of adaptation to the real world of human behaviour and interaction with the environment. Seen from this perspective, human behaviour is more rational than it might otherwise appear.
