2021Covariational reasoning surfaced in the first chapters of the book, however, it needs more elaboration as it will dominate the case studies included in Part III. This chapter presents a current perspective on covariational reasoning and its fit to the proposed modeling discourse.

Freedom and (theoretical) reason
Synthese, 2014In a recent series of papers, Matthias Steup has defended doxastic voluntarism against longstanding objections. Many of his arguments center on the following conditional: if we accept a compatibilist notion of voluntary control, then, in most instances, belief-formation is voluntary and doxastic voluntarism the correct view.

Decision-theoretic case-based reasoning
IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics - Part A: Systems and Humans, 1996We describe a decision-theoretic methodology for case-based reasoning in diagnosis and troubleshooting applications. The system utilizes a special-structure Bayesian network to represent diagnostic cases, with nodes representing issues, causes, and symptoms.

Practical reasons, theoretical reasons, and permissive and prohibitive balancing
Synthese, 2022Philosophers have often noted a contrast between practical and theoretical reasons when it comes to cases involving equally balanced reasons. When there are strong practical reasons for A-ing, and equally strong practical reasons for some incompatible option, B-ing, the agent is permitted to make an arbitrary choice between them, having sufficient ...

Reasoning is a process that can modify intentions and beliefs. To a first approximation, theoretical reasoning is concerned with what to believe and practical reasoning is ...

1989
The primary object of Part I is to expound Keynes’s philosophy and to support the contention that it contains a distinctive theory of rationality. The next six chapters are therefore occupied with elucidating his philosophical framework and its main properties. Two other themes are also developed.

Theoretical Reason’s Supreme Principle and the Principle of Sufficient Reason
2023Abstract This chapter turns to the characterizations that Kant provides of reason’s governing principle, focusing first on his discussion of this in the theoretical domain. In doing so, it argues that reason’s most fundamental principle can be thought of as a version of the Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR), albeit one that is ...

From Theoretical to Practical Reason
2009The ‘Transcendental Doctrine of Method’, the concluding section of the first Critique, begins with theoretical considerations, and thus with experience, and therefore initially unfolds a negative ontology. But this rejection of intellectual self-deception, of conceptual delusions, fabrications and empty fictions, is immediately followed by a plea on ...
