moved the 2nd paragraph of the lead-section

[edit]

I've moved the 2nd paragraph of the lead-section to the section "Disputes about the concept of rationality". It asserts that rationality is relative to a "model" and that there is no independent or absolute fact as to whether a state or a person is rational. This may be a defensible philosophical position but it is not universally accepted. A counterexample would be theories that define rationality as responsiveness to experience. According to some such theories: either you are responsive to a given reason or your aren't; a reason is a reason no matter what "model" is used. This is why the lead section is not the best place for it. Apart from that, this paragraph is in need of sources.Phlsph7 (talk) 06:19, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
