This contribution deals with some critical remarks on assumptions and
results of the so-called rational-choice-theory in sociology. It is de
monstrated that most of the objections against the rational choice app
roach are not founded in the approach itself but by a mis-interpretati
on and mis-reception of some extreme assumptions of the approach. The
general objection that the rational-choice-approach is not able to for
mulate objective normative standards for a rational e. g. ''good'' soc
iety is reasonable. But that has never been the aim of rational choice
theory.
