3Abduction and Its Eco-cognitive OpennessIn Lorenzo Magnani & Claudia Casadio (eds.), Model Based Reasoning in Science and Technology. Logical, Epistemological, and Cognitive Issues, Springer Verlag. 2006.Aristotle clearly states that in syllogistic theory local/environmental cognitive factors—external to that peculiar inferential process, for example regarding users/reasoners, are given up. Indeed, to define syllogism Aristotle first of all insists that all syllogisms are valid and contends that the necessity of this kind of reasoning is related to the circumstance that “no further term from outside is needed”, in sum syllogism is the fruit of a kind of eco-cognitive immunization. At the same ti…Read more

3Logic and Abduction: Cognitive Externalizations in Demonstrative EnvironmentsTheoria 22 (3): 275-284. 2009.In her book Abductive Reasoning Atocha Aliseda stresses the attention to the logical models of abduction, centering on the semantic tableaux as a method for extending and improving both the whole cognitive/philosophical view on it and on other more restricted logical approaches. I will describe the importance of increasing logical knowledge on abduction also taking advantage of some ideas coming from the so-called distributed cognition where logical models are seen as forms of cognitive external…Read more

1Hasty generalizers and hybrid abducers. External semiotic anchors and multimodal representationsIn P. A. Flach, A. C. Kakas, L. Magnani & O. Ray (eds.), ECAI WORKSHOP 2006 - P. A. Flach, A. C. Kakas, L. Magnani, O. Ray (eds.), Workshop Abduction and Induction in AI and Scientific Modeling, University of Trento, Italy, pp. 1-8, . pp. 1--8. 2006.First of all I would like to describe inductive and abductive reasoning in the light of the agent–based framework to the aim of clarifying their fallacious character and the role of the so-called ideal systems (logical and computational). Then I will analyze some inductive and abductive types of reasoning that in the perspective of classical and informal logic are defined fallacies. I will describe how in an agent-based reasoning this kind of fallacious reasoning can in some cases be redefined a…Read more

1Inferring Reasons Internal and External Reasons in Practical CognitionIn Raffaela Giovagnoli & Robert Lowe (eds.), The Logic of Social Practices II, Springer Nature Switzerland. pp. 99-114. 2023.Morality is the effort to guide one’s conduct by reasons, that is, to do what there are the best reasons for doing. From a cognitive perspective, there are many types of moral hypotheses that provide good reasons in practical and moral deliberation and action. They can take the form of principles, rules, prototypes, previous analogical cases, examples, images, feelings, metaphors, narratives, and so on. I will address the central problems of the logical structure of reasons and of inferring reas…Read more
