This book sets out a comprehensive theory of rationality applicable to both practical and theoretical reason. In both domains, Audi explains the role of experience in grounding rationality, delineates the structure of central elements - particuarly belief, desire and action - and attacks the egocentric view of rationality. He defends a rational altruism that supports important moral principles, and concludes with an account of global rationality - the overall rationality of persons.

Architectureis a rich and illuminating work of philosophy. Much of its richness lies in the connections Audi draws among the topics he discusses. He spends a good deal of time developing subtle analogies between the practical and theoretical realms, and is perceptive throughout about the extent to which questions of justification and of explanation are interwoven in our thought about reason and rationality. Anyone writing in any of the myriad fields touched upon by Architecture will profit from its depth of thought and breadth of perspective.
