{"product_id":"reasoning-in-the-wild","title":"Reasoning in the Wild","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhilosophy has long wrongfully imprisoned reasoning within the isolated chambers of the individual mind. This book shatters this confinement, laying foundations of a groundbreaking framework that conceptualizes reasoning as protocol-articulated action governed by socially shared norms and unfolding across diverse sites of processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile logicians portray reasoning as inhabiting an abstract system of rules applied to propositions, this book argues that this portrayal distorts the truth of the matter. \u003ci\u003eReasoning in the Wild \u003c\/i\u003eis founded on the principle that the relation of logical consequence is best understood as a relation between concrete acts, not between abstract propositions inhabiting inference systems. This is the \u003ci\u003ezeroeth principle of logic\u003c\/i\u003e. Consonant with this principle, the book proceeds to illuminate: the vital concept of the \u003ci\u003ecommon mind\u003c\/i\u003e—the shared understandings and ways of thinking that exist within a community; how \u003ci\u003ereasoning is inherently social, \u003c\/i\u003ea public work that unfolds across various sites of processing, operating on principles of trust; that \u003ci\u003ecommunication shapes action \u003c\/i\u003ewithin the context of the common mind, but subject to manipulation that can contribute to polarization; that \u003ci\u003epublic sentiment is a powerful, macrosocial force \u003c\/i\u003eshaped by interlocking processes of shared understanding and strategic communication; and finally, how a \u003ci\u003edisjointed common mind \u003c\/i\u003ecan result from persistent false narratives. The book provocatively considers the role of \u003ci\u003egenerative AI \u003c\/i\u003ein either exacerbating or ameliorating this condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReasoning in the Wild \u003c\/em\u003eis a keen philosophical intervention on a broad range of interconnected topics around the public works of reasoning, for scholars and graduate students in philosophy and the social sciences, particularly the sciences of mind, logic, the social world and communication. It promises to reshape fundamentally our understanding of how we reason, not in terms of isolated mental activity but within the rich tapestry of human connection and public life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Open Access version of this book, available at http:\/\/www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55476758872408,"sku":"9781032853093","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032853093.jpg?v=1778675461","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/reasoning-in-the-wild","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
