The standard rationality hypothesis implies that behaviour can be represented as the maximization of a suitably restricted utility function. This hypothesis lies at the heart of a large body or recent work in economics, of course, but also in political science, ethics, and other major branches of the social sciences. Though the utility maximization hypothesis is venerable, it remains an area of active research. Moreover, some fundamental conceptual problems remain unsolved, or at best, have resolutions that are too recent to have achieved widespread understanding among social scientists.
