The word 'the rational' is not technically incorrect in written English, but it may not be used in all contexts. The word can refer to a reasoned approach to a particular topic or situation, or to the faculty of reason within a person. For example, you could say: "The rational approach to resolving this issue is to consider all possible options before making a decision."
