Title: Las meta decisiones y la teoría de la racionalidad instrumental mínima
Abstract: The decision making is the process that more studies treasures and  it also attracts more specialists in  different  areas,  as  economist,  consultants,  engineers,  psychologists,  doctors,  neurologists,    even  cardiologists, all these experts contribute to improve this process that is omnipresent  in our lives. We are concerned about analyzing in this process, the qualification of rational or irrational according to different currents of thought, within the framework of the Decision Theory. We  will  tackle  a  bit  of  history  and  characterization  of  the  problematic  of  rationality  that  has  been  in  force  throughout  the  history  of  mankind.    Beginning  with  the  strong  rationality:  Mario  Bunge  (Argentine philosopher, analyzing the contributions of Herbert Simon and Daniel Kahneman Nobel Prizes), until reaching the Minimum Instrumental Rationality Theory (Elster, Pavesi.)We will also distinguish moral and ethical concepts, badly linked to rationality.We  will  present  as  final  reflections  the  precepts  of  the  Decision  Theory  and  some  criticisms  of  the  Minimum Instrumental Rationality Theory, based on what has been researched and with the varied contribution of the selected authors, giving special importance to the weak aspects observed in said theory.
