Highlights: "*GP:* Well, for a start, I don’t think that logic has anything to do with the way that people actually reason. Standard work in cognitive psychology (e.g., the Wason Card Test) shows that people often reason invalidly in systematic ways. Logic is about the norms of correct inference. But the word ‘logic’ is ambiguous. It can mean our theories of inference, or it can mean the subject of these. Compare ‘dynamics’. Sometimes this means a theory of how things move (as in ‘Newtonian dynamics’). Sometimes it means how things actually move (as in ‘the dynamics of the earth’)." _______________________________________________ Logica-l mailing list Logica-l@dimap.ufrn.br http://www.dimap.ufrn.br/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/logica-l
