Rationality and Logic (A Bradford Book)

Robert Hanna

4.9/5 (14478 ratings)

Description:In Rationality and Logic, Robert Hanna argues that logic is intrinsicallypsychological and that human psychology is intrinsically logical. He claims that logic iscognitively constructed by rational animals (including humans) and that rational animals areessentially logical animals. In order to do so, he defends the broadly Kantian thesis that all (andonly) rational animals possess an innate cognitive "logic faculty." Hanna's claims challenge theconventional philosophical wisdom that sees logic as a fully formal or "topic-neutral" scienceirreconcilably separate from the species- or individual-specific focus of empirical psychology.Logicand psychology went their separate ways after attacks by Frege and Husserl on logicalpsychologism--the explanatory reduction of logic to empirical psychology. Hanna argues, however,that--despite the fact that logical psychologism is false--there is an essential link between logicand psychology. Rational human animals constitute the basic class of cognizers or thinkers studiedby cognitive psychology; given the connection between rationality and logic that Hanna claims, itfollows that the nature of logic is significantly revealed to us by cognitive psychology. Hanna'sproposed "logical cognitivism" has two important consequences: the recognition by logically orientedphilosophers that psychologists are their colleagues in the metadiscipline of cognitive science; andradical changes in cognitive science itself. Cognitive science, Hanna argues, is not at bottom anatural science; it is both an objective or truth-oriented science and a normative human science, asis logic itself.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
