Problems with deliberation

Abstract

Deliberation is the method of practical reasoning, aimed at solving some decision-making process. It is a complex procedure, with no less than three stages: the analysis of the facts at stakes, the study of the values implied and, eventually, consequences of the actions or behaviours to be taken, as well. Each of these three stages has its own bias, most of them caused by little corticalization responses, sometimes triggered by pure automatic midbrain responses. This is what Kahneman has called System 1 or intuitive, unlike System 2 or deliberative.
