The Syllogism of Neuro-Economics.
نویسنده
چکیده
If Neuroscience is to contribute to Economics, it will do so by the way of Psychology. Neural data can and do lead to better psychological theories, and psychological insights can and do lead to better economic models. Hence, Neuroscience can in principle contribute to Economics. Whether it actually will do so is an empirical question and the jury is still out. Economics currently faces theoretical and empirical challenges analogous to those faced by Physics at the turn of the 20(th) century and ultimately addressed by quantum theory. If "quantum Economics" will emerge in the coming decades, it may well be founded on such concepts as cognitive processes and brain activity.

A Critical Examination of Ibn-Sina’s Theory of the Conditional Syllogism
This paper will examine Ibn Sina’s theory of the Conditional Syllogism from a purely logical point of view, and will lay bare the principles he adopted for founding his theory, and the reason why the newly introduced part of his logic remained undeveloped and eventually was removed from the texts of logic in the later Islamic tradition. As a preliminary discussion, this paper briefly examines I...

In this paper, I shall argue the Aristotelian syllogism consisting of the essential moods and their derivative moods is complete or self-contained, all the moods of the fourth figure can be derived from the essential moods. The analysis table provided in the paper will contribute...
متن کاملSuhrawardi's Modal Syllogisms
Suhrawardi’s logic of the Hikmat al-Ishraq is basically modal. So to understand his modal logic one first has to know the non-modal part upon which his modal logic is built. In my previous paper ‘Suhrawardi on Syllogisms’(3) I discussed the former in detail. The present paper is an exposition of his treatment of modal syllogisms. On the basis of some reasonable existential presuppositi...
متن کاملTime Prediction Using a Neuro-Fuzzy Model for Projects in the Construction Industry
This paper presents a prediction model based on a new neuro-fuzzy algorithm for estimating time in construction projects. The output of the proposed prediction model, which is employed based on a locally linear neuro-fuzzy (LLNF) model, is useful for assessing a project status at different time horizons. Being trained by a locally linear model tree (LOLIMOT) learning algorithm, the model is int...
متن کاملOn the Application of the Disjunctive Syllogism in Paraconsistent Logics Based on Four States of Information
We identify three classes of four-state paraconsistent logics according to their different approaches towards the disjunctive syllogism, and investigate three representatives of these approaches: Quasiclassical logic, which always accepts this principle, Belnap’s logic, that rejects the disjunctive syllogism altogether, and a logic of inconsistency minimization that restricts its application to...
