"Aspects of Rationality: Reflections on What it Means to be Rational and Whether We Are examines and explores the many unanswered questions about human rationality by asking: What does it mean to be rational, and to reason well effectively? How does rationality relate to our knowledge and beliefs, our values, our judgments, and our decisions? Are we rational as individuals? As a species? In this book, Dr. Raymond S. Nickerson discusses much of the experimental research that has been done on reasoning as it relates to the question of human rationality, and comes to conclusions not typically offered by current volumes discussing this subject."--Jacket.
