First, I intend to argue that most theories regarding human rational judgment are based on flawed models or assumptions, and second, that human cognitive abilities are neither complete nor fully developed. Finally, I argue that rational judgment should be understood from an open perspective that considers human limited cognitive abilities, environmental conditions, and socio-cultural development.
If you look at the title alone and think, "It seems quite a while since logic separated from psychology, so is this book asking about that relationship again?" and expect to read classical German philosophy, you are completely mistaken! This book attempts to draw new conclusions by connecting the problem of human irrationality—primarily addressed in behavioral economics advocated by Kahneman, Tversky, and others—with modern logic (not formal logic, but multidimensional logic that accounts for
In response to the question of whether humans are fundamentally designed to think logically, the author examines arguments and evidence from a pessimistic standpoint and presents an optimistic one, concluding the book by establishing an overall neutral stance. Claims that humans are fundamentally unable to think logically and that there are things human intuition cannot grasp—and so on—this book held me back, despite my arrogance stemming from having studied logic even a little! Although it
