DESCRIPTION:<p>Kinds of Reasoning</p>\n<p>IV FINO Graduate Conference in Mind\, Language and Science</p>\n<p>3rd and 4th September 2018\, Vercelli and Novara</p>\n<p>Reasoning is a distinctive feature of human beings that comes into play in a variety of forms. Our conference aims at exploring such a variety: which kinds of reasoning lead us astray\, and which ones\, on the contrary\, enable us to approach objectivity? Actually\, can we really speak of different &ldquo\;kinds&rdquo\; of reasoning\, or is there a fundamental unity behind this apparent diversity?&nbsp\; In order to improve our knowledge on this topic\, we think it is essential to integrate contributions from different perspectives: logical\, epistemological\, psychological etc. Indeed\, we believe it is very important to achieve a comprehensive overview on reasoning and on the methods used to study this topic in order to explore both the potential risks and the virtues of different forms of reasoning.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;Invited Speakers<br><br>Carlotta Pavese (Duke University)</p>\n<p>Jan Sprenger (University of Turin)</p>\n\n<p>We invite&nbsp\;submissions&nbsp\;in the form of an abstract (up to 500 words) through the EasyChair submission system. Each contributed speaker will have&nbsp\;30 minutes&nbsp\;to present her paper\, followed by 15 minutes of discussion. There will be no parallel sessions.</p>\n<p>Topics we are interested in include\, but are not limited to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>probabilistic vs. non probabilistic reasoning</li>\n<li>dual process theories of reasoning</li>\n<li>reasoning errors: biases\, heuristics and fallacies</li>\n<li>inference to the best explanation</li>\n<li>validity of classical reasoning principles (e.g. modus ponens)</li>\n<li>reasoning and social cognition</li>\n<li>pathological reasoning: reasoning in delusions\, obsessions etc.</li>\n<li>kinds of intelligence</li>\n<li>practical vs. theoretical reasoning</li>\n<li>reasoning and rationality</li>\n<li>causal reasoning</li>\n<li>conditional reasoning</li>\n<li>reasoning and language</li>\n<li>reasoning with images: diagrams\, maps etc.</li>\n<li>reasoning and mental representation</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Authors must be&nbsp\;graduate students&nbsp\;or&nbsp\;young scholars.
