| During the First World War a famous animal psycholo- gist, Wolfgang Kohler , working on the island of Tenerife, showed that apes were capable of rational decision mak- ing . In a typical experiment he put an ape in an environ - ment containing a box , a stick , and a bunch of bananas high up out of reach. After a while the ape figured out how to get the bananas . He moved the box under the bananas , got the stick , climbed up on the box , reached up with the stick and brought down the bananas.l Kohler was more interested in Gestalt psychology than in ratio - nality , but his apes exemplified a form of rationality that has been paradigmatic in our theories. The idea is that ra tional decision making is a matter of selecting means that will enable us to achieve our ends . The ends are entirely a matter of what we desire . We come to the deci - sion making situation with a prior inventory of desired ends, and rationality is entirely a matter of figuring out the means to our ends . |
