FP: Deadline extended: Poznan Reasoning Week 2017: question processing, fallacies (bursaries for junior scholars)
Poznan Reasoning Week (PRW 2017)
4–7 July 2017
AMU, Dpt. of Logic and Cognitive Science, Poznan, Poland
The
cognitive turn in logic has resulted in the inclusion of research
in, among others, cognitive science, psychology and computer science
into logic’s hard core. As a consequence, logic has become more capable
of
modelling cognitive activities of real rather than idealized agents.
Far from creating rivalry with mathematical logic, this marks a next
step in the development of logic. But it also reminds that logic had for
many centuries entertained a close and
natural relation to human reasoning, and insofar as externalized
reasoning is concerned also to rhetoric and dialectic.
Consisting of two workshops, PRW2017 invites systematic as well as historical contributions to the
study of individual- and group-reasoning processes. This includes, but is not restricted to, formal modelling. In 2017 we would like to address:
-
Question processing (QuestPro 2017, 4-5 July):
The main purpose of QuestPro 2017 is to assess the state-of-the-art in
research on questions and questioning from the point of view of both
logic and its applications to modelling natural language processes, thus
bridging the gap between formal and empirical
research in this field.
-
Fallacies: Strategy, Error, Shortcut (SES 2017, 6-7 July):
Whether one conceives of the fallacies as reasoning-errors, as
strategic discourse contributions, problem solving shortcuts, or as
something else, they continue to inform both descriptive and normative
aspects of studying human reasoning in experimental or
natural contexts, including the historical development of this
research.
