This paper examines the consequences that result when model theory, and by implication all of (mathematical) logic, is no longer based on a correspondence theory of truth.The introductory section sets out to show that the programme of removing correspondence thinking is positive for model...

Whereas game theorists and logicians use formal methods to investigate ideal strategic behavior, many cognitive scientists use computational cognitive models of the human mind to predict and simulate human behavior. In this paper, we aim to bring these fields closer together by creating a...

In this paper one generalizes the intuitionistic fuzzy logic (IFL) and other logics to neutrosophic logic (NL). The differences between IFL and NL (and the corresponding intuitionistic fuzzy set and neutrosophic set) are pointed out

The modeling of awareness and unawareness is a significant topic in the doxastic logic literature, where it is usually tackled in terms of full belief operators. The present paper aims at a treatment in terms of partial belief operators. It draws upon the modal probabilistic logic that was...

This paper analyzes the extent to which two institutional logics around climate change - the climate change "convinced" and climate change "skeptical" logics - are truly competing or talking past each other in a way that can be described as a logic schism. Drawing on the concept of framing from...

The scientific category of uncertainty refers to that group of terms, an interpretation of which is not unambiguous and exact. In non-eliminability of the category soft content barrier there is an objective transition to the interval uncertainty. This research is an attempt to solve the issue of...

There has been a recent surge of interest among economists in developing models of doxastic states that can account for some aspects of human cognitive limitations that are ignored by standard formal models, such as awareness. Epistemologists purport to have a principled reason for ignoring the...

This article aims to examine the role of objects in the transformation of logics (Thornton & Ocasio, 2008) at the practice level. In particular, it explores how financial actors use, transform and are constrained by their ‘market devices' – defined as a range of instruments, models and tools...

"From the acclaimed author of The Armchair Economist, a delightful collection of puzzles and brain teasers that provide an entertaining, informative tour of economic concepts for novices and experts alike."

Das Buch umfasst fundamentales Wissen aus der Mengenlehre, der Logik und der Graphentheorie, das insbesondere auf eine anschließende Datenbankausbildung ausgerichtet ist. Darüber hinaus werden klassische und moderne Verfahren der Codierung behandelt, die in der Internet-Ökonomie eine Rolle...

On a few occasions F.A. Hayek made reference to the famous Gödel theorems in mathematical logic in the context of expounding his cognitive and social theory. The exact meaning of the supposed relationship between Gödel´s theorems, on the one hand, and the essential proposition of Hayek´s...

Christian Hugo Hoffmann undermines the citadel of risk assessment and management, arguing that classical probability theory is not an adequate foundation for modeling systemic and extreme risk in complex financial systems. He proposes a new class of models which focus on the knowledge dimension...

The figure pictures in financial statements may seem motionless. Yet, movement is essential to an enterprise. The analytical service of an account is best reflected by the relative rates of inflow and outflow of data. At the same time, the functional logic inherent in capital-income accounting...

We propose some variants of a multi-modal of joint action, preference and knowledge that support reasoning about epistemic games in strategic form. The first part of the paper deals with games with complete information. We first provide syntactic proofs of some well-known theorems in the area of...

This paper proposes an approach for automatically extracting symptoms associated to a given disease from semantic-based descriptions of health records of patients a®ected by an investigated pathology. The proposal implements non-standard reasoning services developed in Description Logics for...
