In “Practical Rationality at Work – A New Argumentation Model” (2018, pp.193-230) Sàágua and Baumtrog offer what they call “a new ideal model of integrated practical reasoning argumentation.” I will argue that their only really original contribution is a reconceptualization argumentation schemes as producing pro tanto reasons, such both wrong-headed in itself makes less than other models, not m...

The present article intends to outline Kant's incompatibilism compatibilism. Kant defends, besides the compatibility of freedom with determinism, compatibilism incompatibilism. Although commonplace, discussion regarding character or in an exclusionary sense is unproductive and doomed failure. Kantian solution implies famous problematic two-world theory. Are we citizens two worlds do attribute m...

Is it rational to reduce criminal activities if punishments are increased? While intuition might suggest so, game theory concludes differently. From the game theoretical perspective, inspectors anticipate the effect of increased punishments on criminal behavior and reduce their inspection activities accordingly. This implies that higher punishments reduce inspections and do not affect crime rat...

Brandenburger, Friedenberg, and Keisler [Econometrica 76 (2008), 307352] show that rationality and common assumption of rationality (RCAR) is impossible in a complete and continuous type structure. We show, by inroducing an alternative notion of “weak assumption”, that rationality and common weak assumption of rationality (RCWAR) is possible in a complete and continuous type structure. This pos...

Socio-ecological systems are increasingly modelled by games played on complex networks. While the concept of Nash equilibrium assumes perfect rationality, in reality players display heterogeneous bounded rationality. Here we present a topological model of bounded rationality in socio-ecological systems, using the rationality parameter of the Quantal Response Equilibrium. We argue that system ra...
