Synthese is a scholarly periodical edited by Johan van Benthem, Vincent F. Hendricks, Wiebe van der Hoek, and Gila Sher specializing in papers in epistemology, methodology and philosophy of science. Published articles include specific treatment of methodological issues in science such as induction, probability, causation, statistics, symbolic logic, linguistics and ethics.
"A special section on Knowledge, Rationality and Action offers a platform for researchers interested in a formal approach to the process comprising rational behavior, from gathering and representing information, through reasoning and decision making to acting."[1]
