Sour grapes study of rationality failures

Drawing inspiration in philosophy, political and social theory, the theory of decisions, economics, psychology, history and literature, the classical book of Jun Elster “sour grapes” continues and complements the thoughts of his famous early work “Ulysses and Sirens”.
Elster begins with an analysis of the notation of rationality, in order to then take up the concepts of irrational behavior, desires and beliefs using extremely sophisticated arguments that undermine orthodox theories of rational choice. Published in a new serial design and with a specially written preface by Richard Holton, which reveals the importance of this book for philosophical research, “sour grapes” was revived for a new generation of readers
