May 15, 2014 at 17:24 comment added Landei As I said, I know that it is common usage, and of course the Duden reflects this. By the way, at least in my ears "vernünftige Politik" (Duden-meaning 1b or 2) sounds better than "Die Politik ist vernünftig", which has for me the strange connotation of an conscious mind.
May 15, 2014 at 16:07 comment added Peter Schuetze Have a look at duden.de/rechtschreibung/vernuenftig. The meaning 1b and the examples for 1b.
May 15, 2014 at 14:50 comment added Landei I know this usage is quite common now, but I really hate it: I can be "vernünftig", my dog can be "vernünftig", sometimes even a politician can be "vernünftig". But things and concepts can't: They have neither the brain nor the consciousness required for this kind of attribute. I think "sinnvoll" is much more "sinnvoll" in this context.
