• This contribution deals with some critical remarks on assumptions and results of the so-called rational-choice-theory in sociology. It is demonstrated that most of the objections against the rational choice approach are not founded in the approach itself but by a mis-interpretation and mis-reception of some extreme assumptions of the approach. The general objection that the rational-choice-approach is not able to formulate objective normative standards for a rational e.g. "good" society is reasonable. But that has never been the aim of rational choice theory.
