“…Since the birth of modern logic in the late 19th century and the pioneering work of Gottlob Frege and Bertrand Russell, both propositional and quantified inference patterns have been studied in great detail mathematically (Frege, 1879;Whitehead and Russell, 1910). However, the psychological study of reasoning with quantifiers has predominantly placed its focus about two millennia earlier: Aristotelian syllogisms (Ross, 2000;Chater and Oaksford, 1999;Wetherick and Gilhooly, 1995;Ford, 1995;Geurts, 2003;Guyote and Sternberg, 1981;Bucciarelli and Johnson-Laird, 1999).…”

The psychological study of reasoning with quantifiers has predominantly focused on inference patterns studied by Aristotle about two millennia ago. Modern logic has shown a wealth of inference patterns involving quantifiers that are far beyond the expressive power of Aristotelian syllogisms, and whose psychology should be explored. We bring to light a novel class of fallacious inference patterns, some of which are so attractive that they are tantamount to cognitive illusions. In tandem with recent insights from linguistics that quantifiers like "some" are treated as wh-questions, these illusory inferences are predicted by the erotetic theory of reasoning, which postulates that a process akin to question asking and answering is behind human inference making.

Electrodynamics from the viewpoint of modern continuum theory—A review

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper wants to draw attention to several issues in electrodynamic field theory and to make way for a rational continuum approach to the subject. The starting point are the balances for magnetic flux and electric charge, both in a very general formulation for volumes and for open surfaces, all of which can deform and be immaterial or material. The spatial point-of-view for the description of fields is favored and its advantages in comparison to the concept of material particles is explained. A straightforward answer to the question of how to choose units for the electromagnetic fields most suitably is also presented.The transformation properties of the electromagnetic fields are addressed by rewriting the balances in space-time notation. Special attention is paid to the connection between the two sets of electromagnetic fields through the so-called Maxwell-Lorentz-aether relations. The paper ends with an outlook into constitutive theory of matter under the influence of electromagnetic fields and a discussion on curious developments in context with Maxwell's equations.
