Description
A collection of essays dealing with issues connected with rule-following and decision-making from the perspectives of philosophy and various sciences. The Reader will learn about the diverse relations to rule-following behaviour of such phenomena as cognitive control, emotions, decision-making heuristics and creativity. The contributions also concern the problem of normativity as it is present in logic, moral epistemology and rational choice theory. Furthermore, the roles of evolution and of neural processes for the emergence of rule-following behaviour are analyzed.
