Understanding how objects are partitioned into useful groups to form concepts is important to many disciplines. Concepts allow us to treat different objects equivalently according to shared attributes, and hence to communicate about, draw inferences from, reason with, and explain these objects.
Similarity and Categorization provides a uniquely interdisciplinary overview of this area of inquiry. The book brings together leading researchers, reflecting key topics and important developments in the field. It will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in cognitive psychology,...

Informatics and the Foundations of Legal Reasoning represents a close collaboration between a wide range of disciplines and countries. Fourteen papers, together with a long analytical introduction by the editors, were selected from the contributions of legal theorists, computer scientists, philosophers and logicians who were members of an International Working Group supported by the European Commission. The Group was mandated to work towards determining how far the law is amenable to formal modeling, and in what ways computers might assist legal thinking and practice. The book is the...
