ISBN: 9780226505237 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In "Paradigms and Barriers" Howard Margolis offers an
innovative interpretation of Thomas S. Kuhn's landmark idea of "paradigm shifts," applying insights from cognitive psychology to the history and philosophy of science. Building upon the arguments in his acclaimed "Patterns, " "Thinking, and Cognition," Margolis suggests that the breaking down of particular habits of mind of critical "barriers" is key to understanding the processes through which one model or concept is supplanted by another. Margolis focuses on those revolutionary paradigm shifts such as the... In "Paradigms and Barriers" Howard Margolis offers an

Patterns, Thinking, and Cognition: A Theory of Judgment
ISBN: 9780226505282 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 339 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. What happens when we think? How do people make judgments? While different theories abound and are heatedly debated most are based on an algorithmic model of how the brain works. Howard Margolis builds a fascinating case for a theory that thinking is based on recognizing patterns and that this process is intrinsically a-logical. Margolis gives a Darwinian account of how pattern recognition evolved to reach human cognitive abilities.
Illusions of judgment standard anomalies where people consistently misjudge or misperceive what is logically implied or really present are often used in... What happens when we think?

Selfishness, Altruism, and Rationality
ISBN: 9780226505244 / Angielski / Miękka / 1984 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Why do we volunteer time? Why do we contribute money? Why, even, do we vote, if the effect of a single vote is negligible? Rationality-based microeconomic models are hard-pressed to explain such social behavior, but Howard Margolis proposes a solution. He suggests that within each person there are two selves, one selfish and the other group-oriented, and that the individual follows a Darwinian rule for allocating resources between those two selves.
"Howard Margolis's intriguing ideas . . . provide an alternative to the crude models of rational choice that have dominated economics and... Why do we volunteer time? Why do we contribute money? Why, even, do we vote, if the effect of a single vote is negligible? Rationality-based microecon...

Dealing with Risk: Why the Public and the Experts Disagree on Environmental Issues
ISBN: 9780226505299 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. For decades, policymakers and analysts have been frustrated by the stubborn and often dramatic disagreement between experts and the public on acceptable levels of environmental risk. Most experts, for instance, see no severe problem in dealing with nuclear waste, given the precautions and safety levels now in place. Yet public opinion vehemently rejects this view, repudiating both the experts' analysis and the evidence.
In "Dealing with Risk, " Howard Margolis moves beyond the usual "rival rationalities" explanation proffered by risk analysts for the rift between expert and lay opinion....

Cognition and Extended Rational Choice
ISBN: 9780415701983 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. One of the most exciting recent innovations in the social sciences has been the emergence of 'behaviour economics', which extends the notion of rational choice to allow for both motivation beyond self-interest and intuitions that cannot be reduced to the logic of a situation. This new book by Howard Margolis demonstrates how an account of widely-discussed topics, from tipping points in social choice to cognitive illusions and experimental anomalies, can be brought within a coherent framework. Starting from Darwin's own comments on the origins of moral concerns and from a review of...
