  • Patterns of Rationality

    Recurring Inferences in Science, Social Cognition and Religious Thinking

    by Tommaso Bertolotti ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    This book proposes an applied epistemological framework for investigating science, social cognition and religious thinking based on inferential patterns that recur in the different domains. It presents human rationality as a tool that allows us to make sense of our (physical or social) surroundings. It shows that the resulting cognitive activity produces a broad spectrum of outputs, such as ... Read more

  • Cognition in 3E: Emergent, Embodied, Extended

    Multidisciplinary Perspectives

    Edited by Tommaso Bertolotti ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    This book originated at a workshop by the same name held in May 2018 at the University of Pavia. The aim was to encourage a cross-disciplinary discussion on the limits of cognition. When venturing into cognitive science, notwithstanding the approach, one of the first riddles to be solved is the definition of cognition. Any definition immediately sparks the ascription debate: who/what cognizes? ... Read more

  • The Birth of Model Theory

    Löwenheim's Theorem in the Frame of the Theory of Relatives

    by Calixto Badesa ...
    Löwenheim's theorem reflects a critical point in the history of mathematical logic, for it marks the birth of model theory--that is, the part of logic that concerns the relationship between formal theories and their models. However, while the original proofs of other, comparably significant theorems are well understood, this is not the case with Löwenheim's theorem. For example, the very result ... Read more

  • Visual Reasoning with Diagrams

    Edited by Amirouche Moktefi, Sun-Joo Shin ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    Logic, the discipline that explores valid reasoning, does not need to be limited to a specific form of representation but should include any form as long as it allows us to draw sound conclusions from given information. The use of diagrams has a long but unequal history in logic: The golden age of diagrammatic logic of the 19th century thanks to Euler and Venn diagrams was followed by the early ... Read more
