      The Probabilistic Approach to Human Reasoning

      • 342 pages
      • 12 hours of reading

      The book challenges the traditional view of human cognition as purely logical, arguing that this perspective is fundamentally flawed. It posits that reasoning should be approached through the lens of probability theory, which better accommodates uncertainty in human thought. By reexamining the foundations of psychological reasoning, it offers a provocative critique of longstanding beliefs about rationality, inviting readers to reconsider how they understand the mind and decision-making processes.
