A normative account of defeasible and probabilistic inference
In this paper, we provide more evidence for the contention that logical consequence should be understood in normative terms. Hartry Field and John MacFarlane covered the classical case. We extend their work, examining what it means for an agent to be obliged to infer a conclusion when faced with uncertain information or reasoning within a non-monotonic, defeasible, logical framework (which allo...
متن کاملThe Sense of Confidence during Probabilistic Learning: A Normative Account
Learning in a stochastic environment consists of estimating a model from a limited amount of noisy data, and is therefore inherently uncertain. However, many classical models reduce the learning process to the updating of parameter estimates and neglect the fact that learning is also frequently accompanied by a variable "feeling of knowing" or confidence. The characteristics and the origin of t...
متن کاملA normative account of the need for explanation
Although explanation is a central topic in the philosophy of science and several important models of scientific explanation have been developed and widely discussed, there is one issue concerning explanation that has drawn very little attention, namely, why some phenomena1 need explanation while some do not. Some may think that any phenomenon that has not been explained needs explanation. Other...
متن کاملA Social Pragmatic View on the Concept of Normative Consistency
The programmatic statement put forward in von Wright’s last works on deontic logic introduces the perspective of logical pragmatics, which has been formally explicated here and extended so to include the role of norm-recipient as well as the role of normgiver. Using the translation function from the language of deontic logic to the language of set-theoretical approach, the connection has been e...
متن کاملThe consistency and ecological rationality approaches to normative bounded rationality
This paper focuses on tacit versus explicit uses of plural performance metrics as a primary methodological characteristic. This characteristic usefully distinguishes two schools of normative analysis and their approaches to normative interpretations of bounded rationality. Both schools of thought make normative claims about bounded rationality by comparing the performance of decision procedures...
