Many of our social insitutions are based on a model of rational agency that goes back to the Enlightenment. The model features a cognitive and moral profile for individuals (a set of rational competencies that everyone should ideally possess), as well as a set of social conditions that must be met for persons to be able to develop and use their rational competencies in an optimal way (e.g., access to information, free exchange of ideas, a private as well as a public sphere, etc.).
