SUMMARY:Workshop 'The relevance of logic for human
  reasoning', Munich, Germany
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20161118
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20161119
LOCATION:Munich, Germany
DESCRIPTION:Much has been discussed lately about t
 he relevance of formal logic (including probabilit
 y theory) to the normativity of reasoning, as well
  as to the psychology of reasoning. Is it correct 
 to diagnose human ratiocinative/argumentative perf
 ormance as rational or irrational on the basis of 
 claims about logical validity or consistency? Does
  the fact that we sometimes fail to comply to cert
 ain logical standards in an apparently rational wa
 y show that logic is irrelevant to the norms of th
 ought? Following Harman (1986), one might reach th
 e conclusion that logic is not specially relevant 
 to reasoning after all. Or, maybe, logic is specia
 lly relevant to human reasoning -- but not in the 
 way we initially thought. Relatedly, logic and pro
 bability theory are extensively used by psychologi
 sts to model and make predictions about inferentia
 l performances. The workshop is intended to foster
  investigation about these and related topics.
