Rationaalisen

Rationaalinen is a Finnish adjective that translates to "rational" in English. It describes something or someone that is based on reason, logic, and good judgment. A rational decision is one that is made after careful consideration of the facts and potential consequences, rather than being driven by emotion or impulse. In philosophy and psychology, rationality is often associated with the ability to think clearly, make sound inferences, and act in accordance with one's goals and values.

The concept of rationality is central to many fields, including economics, where it is assumed that individuals and firms make rational choices to maximize their utility or profit. In scientific inquiry, rationality guides the formulation of hypotheses, the design of experiments, and the interpretation of data. A rational person is typically seen as someone who can assess situations objectively, weigh different options, and arrive at a conclusion that is most sensible and justifiable. The opposite of rational is often considered irrational or emotional, which implies behavior that is illogical, unpredictable, or driven by feelings without sufficient thought.
