(Redirected from Rational action)
'Rational action' (or 'value-rational action', ''wertrational'') is a social action which is taken because it leads to a valued goal, but with no thought of its consequences and often without consideration of the appropriateness of the means chosen to achieve it ('the end sanctifies the means').
