PATINO ARANGO, ALEJANDRO. THE RATIONAL, THE REASONABLE: FROM THE MATHEMATICAL AND PHYSICAL MODEL TO HUMAN NATURE. Luna Azul [online]. 2011, n.33, pp.110-125. ISSN 1909-2474.

This research aims to develop three concepts: rational, reasonable and open texture through Descartes, Hume and Waisman's theories respectively. In the first one, we identify the rational with the mathematical method; in the second one, we show how moral is reasonable; and in the third one the aim is to show how moral and law have characteristics of both, reason and open texture. In other words, moral and law correspond to open knowledge in contrast to closed knowledge as those of formal logic.

Keywords : Open texture; rational; reasonable; mathematical model; conjectures; formal logics; skepticism.
