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.

 Rating: - Review of Reasoning edited by Adler and RipsThis is a wonderful collection of essays on reasoning - if professional logicians were to spend a few weeks going over the papers in this book, it would very much flesh out their current state of knowledge of their own subject which is currently too dry and too little connected with how people actually think.
