Critical Study Errors of Reasoning, Naturalizing the Logic of Inference
John Woods’s stated aim in this monograph is to investigate premise-conclusion reasoning “with a special emphasis of factors in play when it falls into error, when bad reasoning s mistaken for good” (1).

متن کاملNaturalizing Subjective Character
When I have a conscious experience of the sky, there is a bluish way it is like for me to have that experience.

Due to space limitations, this review will focus only on some of them. I nevertheless hope to give the general flavour of this thought-provoking book. The official core topic of EoR is the one of logical fallacies. And the co...
متن کاملComment on Naturalizing Critical Realist Social Ontology
This comment discusses Kaidesoja (2013) and raises the issue whether his analysis justifies stronger conclusions than he presents in the book. My comments focus on four issues. First, I argue that his naturalistic reconstruction of critical realist transcendental arguments shows that transcendental arguments should be treated as a rare curiosity rather than a general argumentative strategy. Sec...
