The purpose of the article is to question about the foundation of the concept of axiological rationality. As the concept belongs to realm of the wider theme of subjective rationality, and to that of the relationship between this model and the field of objective rationality, the reflection comes from an analysis of the boundaries between these two conceptual areas. Particular attention is devoted to two arguments nearly: that of social Darwinism and the Aristotelian «practical inference». Subsequently, after a reconstruction of Raymond Boudon’s position on consequentialism and axiological rationality, the work shows three critical subjects in this regard: a) the weakness of the interpretation of the moral sentiments in terms of evolutionary universals; b) a critical analysis of the concept of «sense of objectivity», based on Pareto’s derivations theory; c) the discussion about the axiom of reasons as causes of action.
