(Tutor: Prof. Francesco Paoli) – Emozione e deduzione. Componenti emotive nei comportamenti inferenziali

I graduated in Philosophical Disciplines from the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice and I am a PhD student in Logic and Epistemology at University of Cagliari. My research interest is focussed on the relationship between inferential processes and emotions. In particular I aim to understand the positive effects that emotions can have on deductive reasoning. I am improving my knowledge of Informal Logic and of Psychology of Reasoning and I am training my expertise to use experimental methods to empirically verify logical behaviour.
