In October 2002, Daniel Kahneman was ingratiated by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences with the Nobel prize of economy for his integration of insights that stemmed from psychological research on the economy field, especially in what concerns human judgement and decision making under uncertainty In April 2003, the "Encontros ao Fim da Tarde com a Psicologia" organised by the Associação Portuguesa de Psicologia (APP), in colaboration with Livraria Barata, a tribute was payed to Kahneman's work, presenting, during two sessions, some of the greatest contributions of this author to the study of decision making and judgement under uncertainty, and discussing the consequences of these contributions to the contemporary thinking about the concept of rationality. The present paper summarises and discusses the main ideas presented during these sessions.
