Probability, Uncertainty and Rationality: Publications of the Scuola Normale Superiore, cartea 10

Editat de Hykel Hosni, F. Montagna
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 apr 2010
This volume explores, from a mathematical and a philosophical perspective, the virtuous circle connecting logic and rationality. While logic lends its methods, techniques and ideas to the investigation of rationality, the practical problems which arise in modelling rational behaviour, especially in the social sciences, motivate logicians to develop more refined logical formalisms. This is why non classical logics - a unifying theme of this volume - play a fundamental role in the construction of formal models of rationality.
