Hugo Mercier
About
Hugo Mercier is a postdoc in the Philosophy, Politics and Economics program at the University of Pennsylvania. Most of his work has focused on the function and workings of reasoning. According to the argumentative theory of reasoning, the function of reasoning is argumentative: to find and evaluate arguments so as to convince others and only be convinced when it is appropriate. Accordingly, reasoning works well as an argumentative device, but quite poorly otherwise. You can learn more about his work here: hugomercier
