Inconsistent Thinking, Fast and Slow

Francesco Berto (Amsterdam) gives a talk at the Conference on Paraconsistent Reasoning in Science and Mathematics (11-13 June, 2014) titled "Inconsistent Thinking, Fast and Slow". Abstract: This plays on Kahneman’s Thinking Fast and Slow. We implement two reasoning systems: our Slow system is logical-rule-based. Our Fast system is associative, context-sensitive, and integrates what we conceive via background information Slow inconsistent thinking may rely on paraconsistent logical rules, but I focus on Fast inconsistent thinking. I approach our Fast-conceiving inconsistencies in terms of ceteris paribus intentional operators: variably restricted quantifiers on possible and impossible worlds. The explicit content of an inconsistent conception is similar to a ceteris paribus relevant conditional antecedent. I discuss how such operators invalidate logical closure for conceivability, and how similarity works when impossible worlds are around.
