RÉSUMÉ

This talk will explore an unconventional way of thinking about grounding reasoning: that reasoning is a kind of action, properly predicated of an entire animal, and integrating cognition, affect, and conation in the case of humans. I will outline some consequences of this for what it means to reason well, and for when we should and should not offload reasoning to agents.

BIOGRAPHIE

Reto GUBELMANN is a researcher working at the intersection of philosophy and natural language processing (NLP). His primary research area is the philosophical theory and computational implementation of argumentation and logical inference, broadly conceived as logical reasoning. My research in NLP involves large language models (LLMs) with an emphasis on Neuro-Symbolic approaches.
