Pseudorationalism was the label given by economist and philosopher Otto Neurath to a school of thought that he was heavily critical of, which is the idea that all actions can be understood rationally. He made these criticisms throughout many of his writings, but primarily in his 1913 paper "The lost wanderers of Descartes and the auxiliary motive" and later to a lesser extent in his 1935 "Pseudorationalismus der Falsifikation". This was a review of, and attack on, Popper's first book, Logik der Forschung (The Logic of Scientific Discovery), contrasting this approach with his own view of what rationalism should properly be. He argues that pseudorationalists make the mistake of assuming a complete picture of reality, an impossibility which leads them to further false assumptions. Neurath ass

Neurath asserted that scientific endeavour was instead a continuing and never-ending series of choices, simply because of the ambiguity of language. (en)
