Meta-rationality means figuring out how to deploy formal rationality effectively in particular circumstances. That can involve examining the specifics of the rationality/reasonableness interface in those circumstances; but it goes well beyond that.pic.twitter.com/1SNXhP7Fhu

Meta-rationality often involves ontological revision: re-thinking the categories, properties, relationships, and individuation criteria that you build a rational model on. Neither reasonableness nor formal rationality involve explicit theories, criteria, or methods for that.
