This volume offers the first integrated overview of the state of the art in the psychology and philosophy of rationality. Written by leading experts from both disciplines, \u003ci\u003eThe Handbook of Rationality\u003c\/i\u003e covers the main normative and descriptive theories of rationality--how people ought to think, how they actually think, and why we often deviate from what we can call rational. It also offers insights from other fields such as artificial intelligence, economics, the social sciences, and cognitive neuroscience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook\u003c\/i\u003e proposes a novel classification system for researchers in human rationality, and it creates new connections between rationality research in philosophy, psychology, and other disciplines. Following the basic distinction between theoretical and practical rationality, the book first considers the theoretical side, including normative and descriptive theories of logical, probabilistic, causal, and defeasible reasoning. It then turns to the practical side, discussing topics such as decision making, bounded rationality, game theory, deontic and legal reasoning, and the relation between rationality and morality. Finally, it covers topics that arise in both theoretical and practical rationality, including visual and spatial thinking, scientific rationality, how children learn to reason rationally, and the connection between intelligence and rationality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Markus Knauff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0262045079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262045070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 8.60w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2022","brand":"Markus Knauff","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44053071036671,"sku":"9780262045070","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_817cfbe4-ba7e-4b33-b567-14d7381bc72d.jpg?v=1685022233","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-handbook-of-rationality-markus-knauff-9780262045070","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
