Games, Norms, and Reasons: Logic at the Crossroads provides an
overview of modern logic focusing on its relationships with other
disciplines, including new interfaces with rational choice theory,
epistemology, game theory and informatics. This book continues a
series called "Logic at the Crossroads" whose title reflects a view
that the deep insights from the classical phase of mathematical
logic can form a harmonious mixture with a new, more ambitious
research agenda of understanding and enhancing human reasoning and
intelligent interaction. The editors have gathered together
articles from active authors in this new area that explore dynamic
logical aspects of norms, reasons, preferences and beliefs in human
agency, human interaction and groups. The book pays a special
tribute to Professor Rohit Parikh, a pioneer in this movement.
Proof, Computation and Agency: Logic at the Crossroads provides an
overview of modern logic and its relationship with other
disciplines. As a highlight, several articles pursue an inspiring
paradigm called 'social software', which studies patterns of social
interaction using techniques from logic and computer science. The
book also demonstrates how logic can join forces with game theory
and social choice theory. A second main line is the
logic-language-cognition connection, where the articles collected
here bring several fresh perspectives. Finally, the book takes up
Indian logic and its connections with epistemology and the
philosophy of science, showing how these topics run naturally into
each other.

This collection brings together exciting new works that address
today's key challenges for a feminist power-sensitive approach to
knowledge and scientific practice. Taking up such issues as the
role of contextualism in epistemology, democracy and dissent in
knowledge practices, and epistemic agency under conditions of
oppression, the essays build upon well-established work in feminist
epistemology and philosophy of science such as standpoint theory
and contextual empiricism, offering new interpretations and
applications. Many contributions capture the current engagement of
feminist epistemologists with the insights and programs of
nonfeminist epistemologists, while others focus on the
intersections between feminist epistemology and other fields of
feminist inquiry such as feminist ethics and metaphysics. *see
