Synopsis
With philosophers interested in general conceptual analysis and specialized logicians or AI researchers as his intended audience, Rott analyzes the notion of rationality in terms of various concepts of coherence. Topics include incoherent versus coherent systems of belief, the interconnection of problems of belief change and epistemology, a critique of the theory of K. Lehrer, a description of vertical and horizontal perspectives to analyze belief change processes, the connections between belief revision and nonmonotonic reasoning, analysis of rationality postulates, a critique of the general theory of rational choice, and an analysis of the theory of revealed preferences.
