From: Parisi Daniela   But, when you refer to choice, do you mean a rational  
explanation of the regularities which characterise phenomena? In this  
case, as Carstensen is suggesting,is a matter of relationships between  
choices and framework; consider, for example, moral, religious or social  
sanctions that support the rule.  
That's true because rationality is not only rationality of  
having a rule, but also rationality of a rule itself.   
  
  
  
Picking up on Daniela's point about moral, religious and social  
sanctions and the rationality of the rule itself, this seems to move the  
debate to the question of who decides whether the rules are rational or  
not? For example, are suicide bombers rational? Is this optimising  
behaviour subject to the relevant constraints?
