This interdisciplinary work is a collection of major essays on reasoning: deductive, inductive, abductive, belief revision, defeasible (non-monotonic), cross cultural, conversational, and argumentative. They are each oriented toward contemporary empirical studies. The book focuses on foundational issues, including paradoxes, fallacies, and debates about the nature of rationality, the traditional modes of reasoning, as well as counterfactual and causal reasoning. It also includes chapters on the interface between reasoning and other forms of thought. In general, this last set of essays represents growth points in reasoning research, drawing connections to pragmatics, cross-cultural studies, emotion and evolution.

Includes an introductory overview of the foundations of reasoning which provides a survey to readers encountering the topic for the first time
Includes key new contributions from major figures in the field as well as original work giving breadth and depth of coverage
Covers new sub-fields not previously documented and identifies where new research is likely to appear
