However, it is linked to mostly from philosophy and economics. It seems to me that we need an article that defines "rational agent" based the literature of those fields. I believe that Russell and Norvig are using the term in an idiosyncratic way: they use it as better name for what AI researchers call an "intelligent agent". This is misleading to the reader.
Since I don't have sources for philosophy or economics (or time to look for them), I will survey the links that point here and see if they can't be pointed somewhere closer to the point. Once orphaned, I can redirect this article somewhere else. The material in this article (what little there is), can be merged into the article intelligent agent.
