Following the Rules: Practical Reasoning and Deontic Constraint
Heath, Joseph (Associate Professor of Philosophy, Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of Toronto)
Heath shows how rational choice theory can be modified in order to incorporate rule-following as a general feature of rational action. Human rationality is a byproduct of the "language upgrade" that we receive over the course of cultural evolution. This creates an indissoluble bond between rational deliberation and deontic constraint.
