The purpose of this paper is to apply the framework of Minimal Expressivism (Frápolli and Villanueva 2012) to the analysis of “is rational”. We build upon Gibbard’s expressivist analysis of the notion (Gibbard 1986, 1990, 2003, 2012) in order to obtain a position that retains its main benefits, while avoiding a couple of major problems. Our analysis of the meaning of “is rational” as a higher-level predicable, whose meaning is inferentially individuated, sheds some light on the normative nature of the disputes between rival substantive views about rationality, and is free from the kind of difficulties that Gibbard’s two-tiers analysis of “is rational” brings with it.
