Description

Human Reasoning by David E Over and Jonathan St B T Evans is a new exploration of the psychology of reasoning. Recent studies have challenged traditional views, instead focusing on how ordinary humans infer probabilistic conclusions from degrees of belief or hypothetical premises relevant to their goals. A key development in this field is the emergence of a Bayesian paradigm, which views human reasoning as primarily about revising or updating degrees of belief. This approach also sheds light on dual-process theories of the mind, highlighting two types of mental processing: rapid and intuitive, shared with other animals, and slow and reflective, more characteristic of humans. This book provides an overview of these new developments in rationality, offering insights into how our minds process information and make decisions.
