Patterns of Rationality

Meer over het boek

Exploring the interplay of science, social cognition, and religious thinking, this work presents a framework that highlights recurring inferential patterns across various domains. It illustrates human rationality as a means to navigate our environments, generating outputs from scientific models to social interactions and deities. Divided into three parts, it examines scientific rationality, social cognition's role in knowledge externalization, and the analysis of "irrational" thought, revealing underlying patterns that connect diverse forms of rationality and offering fresh theoretical insights.
