In Human Reasoning and Cognitive Science, Keith Stenning and Michiel van Lambalgen—a cognitive scientist and a logician—argue for the indispensability of modern mathematical logic to the study of human reasoning. The current edited book is focussing on the "unification of the social and cognitive sciences through grounding of the social sciences in the cognitive sciences" (p. Vii), which sounds rather ambitious.
