The Oxford Handbook of Reasons and Normativity maps a central terrain of philosophy, and provides an authoritative guide to it. Few concepts have received as much attention in recent philosophy as the concept of a reason to do or believe something. And one of the most contested ideas in philosophy is normativity, the 'ought' in claims that we ought to do or believe something. This is the first volume to provide broad coverage of the study of reasons and normativity across multiple philosophical subfields. In addition to focusing on reasons in ethics, epistemology, and the philosophy of mind, action, and language, the Handbook explores philosophical work on the nature of normativity in general. Topics covered include: the unity of normativity; the fundamentality of reasons; attempts to explain reasons in other terms; the relation of motivational reasons to normative reasons; the internalist constraint; the logic and language of reasons and 'ought'; connections between reasons, intentions, choices, and actions; connections between reasons, reasoning, and rationality; connections between reasons, knowledge, understanding and evidence; reasons encountered in perception and testimony; moral principles, prudence and reasons; agent-relative reasons; epistemic challenges to our access to reasons; normativity in relation to meaning, concepts, and intentionality; instrumental reasons; pragmatic reasons for belief; aesthetic reasons; and reasons for emotions.

This handbook addresses legal reasoning and argumentation from a logical, philosophical and legal perspective. The main forms of legal reasoning and argumentation are covered in an exhaustive and critical fashion, and are analysed in connection with more general types (and problems) of reasoning. Accordingly, the subject matter of the handbook divides in three parts. The first one introduces and discusses the basic concepts of practical reasoning. The second one discusses the general structures and procedures of reasoning and argumentation that are relevant to legal discourse. The third one looks at their instantiations and developments of these aspects of argumentation as they are put to work in the law, in different areas and applications of legal reasoning.

The first reference on rationality that integrates accounts from psychology and philosophy, covering descriptive and normative theories from both disciplines. Both analytic philosophy and cognitive psychology have made dramatic advances in understanding rationality, but there has been little interaction between the disciplines. This volume offers the first integrated overview of the state of the art in the psychology and philosophy of rationality. Written by leading experts from both disciplines, The Handbook of Rationality covers the main normative and descriptive theories of rationality—how people ought to think, how they actually think, and why we often deviate from what we can call rational. It also offers insights from other fields such as artificial intelligence, economics, the social sciences, and cognitive neuroscience. The Handbook proposes a novel classification system for researchers in human rationality, and it creates new connections between rationality research in philosophy, psychology, and other disciplines. Following the basic distinction between theoretical and practical rationality, the book first considers the theoretical side, including normative and descriptive theories of logical, probabilistic, causal, and defeasible reasoning. It then turns to the practical side, discussing topics such as decision making, bounded rationality, game theory, deontic and legal reasoning, and the relation between rationality and morality. Finally, it covers topics that arise in both theoretical and practical rationality, including visual and spatial thinking, scientific rationality, how children learn to reason rationally, and the connection between intelligence and rationality.

Root Cause Analysis Handbook: A Guide to Effective Incident Investigation presents a proven system designed for investigating, categorizing, and ultimately eliminating, rootcauses of incidents with safety, health, environmental, quality, reliability, and production-process impacts.Defined as a tool to help investigators describe what happened, to determine how it happened, and to understand why it happened, the Root Cause Analysis System enables businesses to generate specific, concrete recommendations for preventing incident recurrences.Using the factual data of the incident, the system also allows quality, safety, and risk and reliability managers an opportunity to implement more reliable and more cost-effective policies that result in major, long-term opportunities for improvement.Such process improvements increase a business' ability to recover from and prevent disasters with both financial and health-and-safety implications.Special features include a 17 inch by 22 inch pull-out Root Cause Map, a powerful tool for identifying and coding root causes.The book helps readers to understand why root causes are important, to identify and define inherent problems, to collect data for problem solving, to analyze data for root causes, and to generate practical recommendations.- - - - - - This edition is a reprinting of the 199 edition.- - - - - -ORGANIZATION OF THE ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS HANDBOOKThe focus of this handbook is on the application of the Root Cause Map to the root cause analysis process. The Root Cause Map is used in one of the later steps of the root cause analysis process to identify the underlying management systems that caused the event to occur or made the consequences of the event more severe. The first five chapters of this handbook are an overview of the root cause analysis process. These provide the context for use of the Root Cause Map. Chapter 6 provides references.Chapter 1, "Introduction to Root Cause Analysis," presents a basic overview of the SOURCE (Seeking Out the Underlying Root Causes of Events) root cause analysis process.Chapter 2, "Collecting and Preserving Data for Analysis," outlines the types of data and data sources that are available. Chapters 3, 4, and 5 describe the three major steps in the rootcause analysis process.?Chapter 3, "Data Analysis Using Causal Factor Charting," provides a step-by-step description of causal factor charting techniques. Chapter 4, "Root Cause Identification," explains the organization and use of the Root Cause Map. Chapter 5, "Recommendation Generation and Implementation," provides guidance on developing and implementing corrective actions. The references section, Chapter 6, provides additional information for those interested in learning more about specific items contained in the handbook.Appendix A, "Root Cause Map Node Descriptions," describes each segment of the Root Cause Map and presents detailed descriptions of the individual nodes on the map. AppendixB is the Root Cause Map itself.

Causal reasoning is one of our most central cognitive competencies, enabling us to adapt to our world. Causal knowledge allows us to predict future events, or diagnose the causes of observed facts. We plan actions and solve problems using knowledge about cause-effect relations. Although causal reasoning is a component of most of our cognitive functions, it has been neglected in cognitive psychology for many decades. The Oxford Handbook of Causal Reasoning offers a state-of-the-art review of the growing field, and its contribution to the world of cognitive science. The Handbook begins with an introduction of competing theories of causal learning and reasoning. In the next section, it presents research about basic cognitive functions involved in causal cognition, such as perception, categorization, argumentation, decision-making, and induction. The following section examines research on domains that embody causal relations, including intuitive physics, legal and moral reasoning, psychopathology, language, social cognition, and the roles of space and time. The final section presents research from neighboring fields that study developmental, phylogenetic, and cultural differences in causal cognition. The chapters, each written by renowned researchers in their field, fill in the gaps of many cognitive psychology textbooks, emphasizing the crucial role of causal structures in our everyday lives. This Handbook is an essential read for students and researchers of the cognitive sciences, including cognitive, developmental, social, comparative, and cross-cultural psychology; philosophy; methodology; statistics; artificial intelligence; and machine learning.
