ISBN: 0199256837 ISBN-13: 9780199256839 Publisher: Clarendon Press OUR PRICE: $171.00 Product Type: Hardcover Published: February 2003 Annotation: The essays in this volume investigate the norms of reason--the standards which contribute to determining whether beliefs, inferences, and actions are rational. Nine philosophers and two psychologists discuss what kinds of things these norms are, how they can be situated within the natural world, and what role they play in the psychological explanation of belief and action. Current work in the theory of rationality is subject to very diverse influences ranging from experimental and theoretical psychology, through philosophy of logic and language, to metaethics and the theory of practical reasoning; this range is well represented here. |
