Brain Rules for Baby (John Medina)
Crystallized and fluid intelligence
Like Mom’s stew, human intelligence has two essential components, both fundamentally linked to our evolutionary need to survive. The first is the ability to record information. This is sometimes called “crystallized intelligence.” It involves the various memory systems of the…
Kohlberg's three stages of moral reasoning
Kohlberg, the Harvard psychologist, believed that moral reasoning depended upon general cognitive maturity—another way of saying that these things take time. If, indeed, decisions have strong emotional roots, as we will explore, I would also argue that moral reasoning depends…

Monotonic reasoning
Monotonic reasoning is a term from knowledge representation. A reasoning form is monotonic if an addition to the set of propositions making up the knowledge base never determines a decrement in the set of conclusions that may be derived from the knowledge base via inference…
Durante (Andrea De Carlo)
Oscillare tra impulsi e ragione
Ma quando vedevo le due sorelle Neumann insieme non ero più sicuro neanche di questo: entravo in uno stato di oscillazione continua tra impulsi e ragione, sogni e realtà.
Introducing Artificial Intelligence (Henry Brighton and Howard Selina)
AI builds on logic as thought
Logical reasoning requires the manipulation of sentences described in a logical language. These sentences can be interpreted as representing concepts such as states of affairs in the world – or knowledge. Using computers to automate this process, Al has taken the “logic as…
Brooks: get the basics right first
The MIT roboticist Rodney Brooks takes the evolutionary basics as evidence that “hard” tasks like reasoning, planning and language might turn out to be easier to understand once the basics are in place.
La Formica Zen (italian Edition) ( )
Non credere a nulla senza ragione
Non credere a nulla, non importa dove l’hai letta o chi l’ha detto, neppure se l’ho detto io, a meno che non sia affine alla tua ragione e al tuo buon senso. Buddha
Micropublications: A Semantic Model For Claims, Evidence, Arguments And Annotations In Biomedical Communications
Scientific publications as defeasible arguments
Our model is based on understanding scientific publications as arguments, which present a narrative of experi- ments or observations, the data obtained, and a reasoned interpretation (“finding”) of the data’s meaning [38]. Such arguments present a line of reasoning, to a “best”…
Philosophy Engines: Technology And Reading/writing/thinking Philosophy
Philosophy engines
The material processes for doing philosophy-speaking, gesturing, writing in alphabetic or ideogrammatic form, or in any symbol system-have a deep effect on more abstract philosophical practices involved in thinking, reasoning, and understanding, and explaining, and it is in…
Prof.dr. B. Mons
Resistance to digital methods
Ever since, approximately half of our research output is still on methodological improvements in biodata mining, disambiguation, and associative reasoning. However, the other half, and growing, is on actual knowledge discovery processes and new biological findings, only later…
The Book: On The Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are
No spooks needed: brains and the cosmos
We have not had to drag in any such spooks as mind, soul, or spirit. We have simply been talking of an interaction between physical vibrations and the brain with its various organs of sense, saying only that creatures with brains are an integral feature of the pattern which…
The Ego Trick (baggini, Julian)
Ratiocentrism and the neglected body
It is important to stress the physical basis of personhood in order to answer critics who argue that the contemporary philosophy of personal identity suffers from the same disability that has plagued western philosophy since its inception: it is so centred on rational thought…
Descartes' error: emotion supports reason
The legacy of Descartes has also come under attack in neuroscience, explicitly so in the case of Antonio Damasio, who called one of his books Descartes’ Error. Damasio’s target is not just the general separation of mind and body, but the distinction between reason and emotion…
Reason in the service of faith
Let’s take the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If science somehow – and I can’t even imagine how – but if it told me that the resurrection of Jesus Christ was just categorically impossible, could not happen, I would disbelieve that and continue to believe what the Bible teaches…
Thesauri Of Historical Periods – A Proposal For Standardization.
Spatial reasoning
Spatial reasoning (through region-based theories that mirror interval-based theories) has been done by (Cohn, Bennett, Gooday and Gotts 1997). In addition, there is considerable research and development into spatiotemporal databases (e.g. Koubarakis, Sellis. et al. 2003) to…
