How to Eliminate the Black Box in Social Mechanisms: Based on Raymond Boudon’s Theory of Cognitive Rationality Abstract: Raymond Boudon proposed a new theory: the theory of cognitive rationality, aimed at eliminating the black box in explaining social mechanisms. He believes that human rationality is the only reliable thing, and the explanation of social phenomena must proceed from individual rationality. Because the theory of rational choice can not solve the problem of collective belief, he puts forward the theory of cognitive rationality. He believes that rational behavior is a “good reason” to explain social phenomena, and the black box problem is also solved. However, we find that the theory of cognitive rationality still faces some difficulties. Key Words: Rational Choice Theory; Methodological individualism; Theory of cognitive rationality; BeliefsIssue:Volume 47, lssue 3, March 2025Page: 57-64
