DOI: 10.1007/s00182-016-0547-5
Abstract: We study an interactive framework that explicitly allows for nonrational behavior. We do not place any restrictions on how players’ behavior deviates from rationality, but rather, on players’ higher-order beliefs about the frequency of such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10339-021-01030-9
Abstract: Humberto Maturana's biology of cognition and the studies of neuroscientist Antonio Damasio have proposed theories that indicate the role of emotion in cognitive processes. Emotion lies at the basis of any behavior. An emotional transition… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11098-021-01698-x
Abstract: Formal epistemologists often claim that our credences should be representable by a probability function. Complete probabilistic coherence, however, is only possible for ideal agents, raising the question of how this requirement relates to our everyday… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11229-018-02041-4
Abstract: Originally identified by Hume, the validity of is–ought inference is much debated in the meta-ethics literature. Our work shows that inference from is to ought typically proceeds from contextualised, value-laden causal utility conditional, bridging into… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11229-019-02296-5
Abstract: Axiomatic rationality is defined in terms of conformity to abstract axioms. Savage (The foundations of statistics, Wiley, New York, 1954) limited axiomatic rationality to small worlds (S, C), that is, situations in which the exhaustive… read more here.

Reconceiving rationality: situating rationality into radically enactive cognition
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Synthese"
DOI: 10.1007/s11229-019-02362-y
Abstract: Rational beliefs and actions are typically evaluated against certain benchmarks, e.g., those of classical logic or probability theory. Rationality therefore is traditionally taken to involve some sort of reasoning, which in turn implies contentful cognition.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s40656-017-0150-5
Abstract: Natural selection is often envisaged as the ultimate cause of the apparent rationality exhibited by organisms in their specific habitat. Given the equivalence between selection and rationality as maximizing processes, one would indeed expect organisms… read more here.
