Is efficiency a vice?
American Philosophical Quarterly 42 (4):333 - 339 (2005)
Abstract
Argues against the form of instrumentalism on which being practically rational is being efficient in the pursuit of one's ends. The trait of means-end efficiency turns out to be a defect of character, and therefore cannot be identified with practical reason at its best.Author's Profile
