How People Cope with Uncertainty
What is the nature of human wisdom? For many, the ideal image of sapiens is a        heavenly one: an omniscient God, a Laplacean demon, a supercomputer, or a fully        consistent logical system. Gerd Gigerenzer argues, in contrast, that there are more        efficient tools than logic in our minds, which he calls fast and frugal heuristics.          These adaptive tools work in a world where the present is only partially known and        the future is uncertain. Here, rationality is not logical but ecological, and this        volume shows how this insight can help remedy even the widespread problem of        statistical innumeracy.RATIONALITY FOR MORTALS (which follows on a previous        collection, ADAPTIVE THINKING, also published by OUP) presents Gigerenzer's most        recent articles, revised and updated where appropriate, together with a newly        written introduction.
