What does it mean to be rational, and why should someone try to be rational? Your essay should link rationality with the three theories of truth explored in this chapter. Specifically, it should address how the concept of rationality incorporates coherence and pragmatic approaches to truth, as well as a revised version of the correspondence theory of truth.
