Book Synopsis Common Sense, Reasoning, and Rationality by : Renee Elio
Download or read book Common Sense, Reasoning, and Rationality written by Renee Elio and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-02-07 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the eleventh volume in the New Directions in Cognitive Science series (formerly the Vancouver Studies in Cognitive Science series), this work promises superb scholarship and interdisciplinary appeal. It addresses three areas of current and varied interest: common sense, reasoning, and rationality. While common sense and rationality often have been viewed as two distinct features in a unified cognitive map, this volume offers novel, even paradoxical, views of the relationship. Comprised of outstanding essays from distinguished philosophers, it considers what constitutes human rationality, behavior, and intelligence covering diverse areas of philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, and computer science. Indeed, it is at the forefront of cognitive research and promises to be of unprecedented influence across numerous disciplines.
Book Synopsis Commonsense Reasoning by : Erik T. Mueller
Download or read book Commonsense Reasoning written by Erik T. Mueller and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2010-07-26 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To endow computers with common sense is one of the major long-term goals of Artificial Intelligence research. One approach to this problem is to formalize commonsense reasoning using mathematical logic. Commonsense Reasoning is a detailed, high-level reference on logic-based commonsense reasoning. It uses the event calculus, a highly powerful and usable tool for commonsense reasoning, which Erik T. Mueller demonstrates as the most effective tool for the broadest range of applications. He provides an up-to-date work promoting the use of the event calculus for commonsense reasoning, and bringing into one place information scattered across many books and papers. Mueller shares the knowledge gained in using the event calculus and extends the literature with detailed event calculus solutions to problems that span many areas of the commonsense world. - Covers key areas of commonsense reasoning including action, change, defaults, space, and mental states. - The first full book on commonsense reasoning to use the event calculus. - Contextualizes the event calculus within the framework of commonsense reasoning, introducing the event calculus as the best method overall. - Focuses on how to use the event calculus formalism to perform commonsense reasoning, while existing papers and books examine the formalisms themselves. - Includes fully worked out proofs and circumscriptions for every example.
Book Synopsis Commonsense Anticommunism by : Jennifer Luff
Download or read book Commonsense Anticommunism written by Jennifer Luff and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2012-05-21 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the Great War and Pearl Harbor, conservative labor leaders declared themselves America's "first line of defense" against Communism. In this surprising account, Jennifer Luff shows how the American Federation of Labor fanned popular anticommunism but defended Communists' civil liberties in the aftermath of the 1919 Red Scare. The AFL's "commonsense anticommunism," she argues, steered a middle course between the American Legion and the ACLU, helping to check campaigns for federal sedition laws. But in the 1930s, frustration with the New Deal order led labor conservatives to redbait the Roosevelt administration and liberal unionists and abandon their reluctant civil libertarianism for red scare politics. That frustration contributed to the legal architecture of federal anticommunism that culminated with the McCarthyist fervor of the 1950s. Relying on untapped archival sources, Luff reveals how labor conservatives and the emerging civil liberties movement debated the proper role of the state in policing radicals and grappled with the challenges to the existing political order posed by Communist organizers. Surprising conclusions about familiar figures, like J. Edgar Hoover, and unfamiliar episodes, like a German plot to disrupt American munitions manufacture, make Luff's story a fresh retelling of the interwar years.

Download or read book Common Sense written by Ethan Patel and published by Publifye AS. This book was released on 2024-10-25 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Common Sense' offers a groundbreaking exploration of how practical wisdom and everyday reasoning shape our decision-making abilities. Drawing from cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral science, this comprehensive guide challenges the myth that common sense is purely innate, demonstrating instead how this crucial skill can be developed and refined throughout one's lifetime through conscious learning and observation. The book's journey begins by establishing the cognitive mechanisms behind common sense thinking, supported by compelling research and real-world examples. Through a careful examination of how common sense operates in various contexts, from professional environments to personal relationships, readers gain insight into the environmental and social factors that influence practical judgment. The work uniquely bridges theoretical understanding with practical application, offering concrete techniques for enhancing critical thinking and decision-making abilities. Moving from foundational concepts to practical implementation, the book provides readers with specific strategies for developing stronger common sense reasoning. By integrating insights from emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and decision theory, it creates a comprehensive framework for understanding and improving practical wisdom. The accessible writing style, combined with case studies from business and daily life, makes complex concepts relatable while maintaining scholarly rigor, making it invaluable for professionals, educators, and anyone seeking to enhance their practical judgment.

Book Synopsis Faith, Reason and Common Sense: by : Paul M. Roddick
Download or read book Faith, Reason and Common Sense: written by Paul M. Roddick and published by Author House. This book was released on 2010-05-14 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered where religion is concerned, what you really believe? In FAITH, REASON & COMMON SENSE the interdependence of religion and culture is examined with care and insight. Readers with strong religious convictions may be surprised to discover that the history of religion - every religion - is both a chronicle of heresy and a reconfiguration of belief. In his examination of the relationship between Faith and Reason, the author rejects the familiar premise that a life guided by one must exclude the other. Although he stresses the importance of examining `the faith of our fathers' he is respectful of those who, in a world dominated by science, find guidance and reassurance in their religion. Far ranging and insightful, drawing on a wealth of sources and opinions, there is something for everyone in this challenging and though-provoking study.

Book Synopsis A Pattern Language by : Christopher Alexander
Download or read book A Pattern Language written by Christopher Alexander and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 1216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can use this book to design a house for yourself with your family; you can use it to work with your neighbors to improve your town and neighborhood; you can use it to design an office, or a workshop, or a public building. And you can use it to guide you in the actual process of construction. After a ten-year silence, Christopher Alexander and his colleagues at the Center for Environmental Structure are now publishing a major statement in the form of three books which will, in their words, "lay the basis for an entirely new approach to architecture, building and planning, which will we hope replace existing ideas and practices entirely." The three books are The Timeless Way of Building, The Oregon Experiment, and this book, A Pattern Language. At the core of these books is the idea that people should design for themselves their own houses, streets, and communities. This idea may be radical (it implies a radical transformation of the architectural profession) but it comes simply from the observation that most of the wonderful places of the world were not made by architects but by the people. At the core of the books, too, is the point that in designing their environments people always rely on certain "languages," which, like the languages we speak, allow them to articulate and communicate an infinite variety of designs within a forma system which gives them coherence. This book provides a language of this kind. It will enable a person to make a design for almost any kind of building, or any part of the built environment. "Patterns," the units of this language, are answers to design problems (How high should a window sill be? How many stories should a building have? How much space in a neighborhood should be devoted to grass and trees?). More than 250 of the patterns in this pattern language are given: each consists of a problem statement, a discussion of the problem with an illustration, and a solution. As the authors say in their introduction, many of the patterns are archetypal, so deeply rooted in the nature of things that it seemly likely that they will be a part of human nature, and human action, as much in five hundred years as they are today.
