102,01€ + 10% CARD

 Simple Heuristics in a Social World invites readers to discover the simple heuristics that people use to navigate the complexities and surprises of environments populated with others. The social world is a terrain where humans and other animals compete with conspecifics for myriad resources, including food, mates, and status, and where rivals grant the decision maker little time for deep thought, protracted information search, or complex calculations. Yet,the social world also encompasses domains where social animals such as humans can learn from one another and can forge alliances with one another to boost their chances of success.

by Scott Atran

38,41€ + 10% CARD

 This ambitious, interdisciplinary book seeks to explain the origins of religion using our knowledge of the evolution of cognition.

Rationality For Mortals - How People Cope With Uncertainty

by Gerd Gigerenzer

34,44€ + 10% CARD

 Gerd Gigerenzer''s influential work examines the rationality of individuals not from the perspective of logic or probability, but from the point of view of adaptation to the real world of human behavior and interaction with the environment. Seen from this perspective, human behavior is more rational than it might otherwise appear. This work is extremely influential and has spawned an entire research program. This volume (which follows on a previous collection, <em>Adaptive Thinking</em>, also published by OUP) collects his most recent articles, looking at how people use "fast and frugal heuristics" to calculate probability and risk and make decisions. It includes a newly writen, substantial introduction, and the articles have been revised and updated where appropriate. This volume should appeal, like the earlier volumes, to a broad mixture of cognitive psychologists, philosophers, economists, and others who study decision making.
