Throwing the normative baby out with the prescriptivist bathwater
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 34 (5):249-249 (2011)
Abstract
It is neither desirable nor possible to eliminate normative concerns from the psychology of reasoning. Norms define the most fundamental psychological questions: What are people trying to do, and how? Even if no one system of reasoning can be the norm, pure descriptivism is as undesirable and unobtainable in the psychology of reasoning as elsewhere in scienceAuthor's Profile
