A Very Interesting Monthly Magazine: The Reasoner

Some of you may not be aware of the online monthly magazine The Reasoner. If you are philosophically inclined or are interested in matters such as logic, argumentation theory, and inference, I strongly suggest you subscribe (free) to this magazine.

The magazine's own blurb describes itself this way:
The Reasoner (www.thereasoner.org) is a monthly digest highlighting exciting new research on reasoning, inference and method broadly construed. It is interdisciplinary, covering research in, e.g., philosophy, logic, AI, statistics, cognitive science, law, psychology, mathematics and the sciences.

In the most recent issue of _The Reasoner_, Wilfrid Hodges states (in an interview), "Incidentally I have no patience at all with the view
of Kant, followed by Frege and some modern writers, that logic studies how we ought to think and psychology
studies how we do think." I agree with this general sentiment.

Hodges also said, "One of the major achievements of logic of the last fifty years is to start taking seriously the constraints under which we reason, and the di erent aims that we can have in our reasoning. This expansion of logic gives many openings for collaboration between logicians and cognitivists."
