| Résumé anglais |
According to B. Walliser, the economic rationality has two aspects : 1) instrumental (aiming at some goal, e.g. maximizing utility), 2) cognitive (building models for anticipating). This thesis throws some light on the field, so controversial, of human action by giving the basic keys to map it out. It also opens potentially fruitful perspectives by helping to explicit what the rational expectations idea presupposes. But, moving on along this line, one has to deal with an epistemological difficulty which lies at the very foundations of the conception of economic agents as model-builders.
