Lecture Multiagent systems - Chapter 4: Practical reasoning
Whatever the merits of agents that decide what to do by proving theorems, it seems clear that we do not use purely logical reasoning in order to decide what to do. Certainly something like logical reasoning can play a part, but a moment's reflection should confirm that for most of the time, very different processes are taking place. This chapter will focus on a model of agency that takes its inspiration from the processes that seem to take place as we decide what to do.
