ABSTRACT
One isn’t assessing things in terms of an absolute against which they could be evaluated as constituting more or less perfect forms of rationality, but rather examining how forms of rationality inscribe themselves in practices or systems of practices…it is true that ‘practices’ don’t exist without a certain regime of rationality. But, rather than measuring this regime against a value-of-reason, I would prefer to analyse it according to two axes: on the one hand, that of codification/prescription…and on the other, that of true or false formulation.
