Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 01 Feb 2016).. - Introduction to practical reasoning -- Practical reasoning in health product ads -- Formal and computational systems of practical reasoning -- Practical reasoning in arguments and explanations -- Explanations, motives, and intentions -- Practical argumentation in deliberation dialogue -- Goal-based argumentation in different types of dialogue -- Practical and epistemic rationality.. - This book provides an argumentation model for means end-reasoning, a distinctive type of reasoning used for problem-solving and decision-making. Means end-reasoning is modelled as goal-directed argumentation from an agent's goals and known circumstances, and from an action selected as a means, to a decision to carry out the action. Goal-based Reasoning for Argumentation provides an argumentation model of this kind of reasoning showing how it is employed in settings of intelligent deliberation where agents try to collectively arrive at a conclusion on what they should do to move forward in a set of circumstances. The book explains how this argumentation model can help build more realistic computational systems of deliberation and decision-making, and shows how such systems can be applied to solve problems posed by goal-based reasoning in numerous fields, from social psychology and sociology, to law, political science, anthropology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, multi-agent systems, and robotics.
