[tab] [content title="Summary"] In *Thinking about Acting*, John Pollock sets out to develop a theory of rational decision-making for real agents, as opposed to idealized ones. Traditional theories of rationality have typically been built around the concept of an ideal agent—one with unlimited cognitive powers and the ability to process all relevant information without constraints. However, Pollock argues that these idealized models are not directly applicable to the decision-making of real agents, who are limited by cognitive capacities, time, and resources. Pollock's theory of *real rationality* acknowledges the cognitive limitations that affect human decision-making. It aims to provide a more accurate framework for understanding how real agents—whether individuals or organizations—make decisions under conditions of uncertainty and constraint. Instead of focusing on idealized scenarios, Pollock's approach is grounded in the practical challenges faced by agents in the real world, offering a more realistic view of how rational decisions are made in everyday contexts. By emphasizing the distinction between ideal and real rationality, Pollock challenges traditional approaches and aims to create a theory that better reflects how people actually think and act when making decisions.
