Philosophers (and others) study how we ought to reason. By contrast, psychologists (and others) study how actually do reason. Often, their findings conflict. How should these conflicts be reconciled? Potential topics include different kinds of reasoning (deductive, probabilistic, explanatory, analogical, practical, etc.), naturalized epistemology, theories of justification, and heuristics and biases. Prerequisites: either PHIL0180 or PSYC0105.
