The topic of this volume is prescriptive reasoning: why to view prescriptions as true or false and how to reason with them; in what way a theory can be prescriptive; and how descriptions of rationality are prescriptive. |
This volume examines the metaphysical assumptions that are needed in order to develop formal systems. |
This book presents a new perspective on ways we encounter the world with our languages. |
