Reasoning and Decision Making
18-21 November 2008
Tilburg University, The Netherlands
The Tilburg part of the Graduate School focuses on the psychology of
human reasoning and argumentation. Michiel van Lambalgen examines
various kinds of non-monotonic reasoning while Michael Pauen focuses on
the role of reasons and emotions in decision-making. Ulrike Hahn
investigates how humans preceive randomness and J. D. Trout, in a series
of three lectures, discusses the impacts of psychological evidence on
knowledge and (self-)understanding. In total, the Tilburg week tackles
well-known problems in epistemology, philosophy of mind, and decision
theory from a perspective that is well aware of recent psychological
findings.
