Reasons for Logic, Logic for Reasons (eBook, ePUB)

Pragmatics, Semantics, and Conceptual Roles

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a philosophical conception of logic - "logical expressivism"- according to which the role of logic is to make explicit reason relations, which are often neither monotonic nor transitive. It reveals new perspectives on inferential roles, sequent calculi, representation, truthmakers, and many extant logical theories.

Rezensionen

"Hlobil and Brandom join forces in this remarkable work of philosophy and logic, uncompromising in depth and in breadth. Their discursive rationalism provides the much-needed perspective of reasoners as they are engaged in critical reflection on their reasoning practices. We are invited to a bird's eye view of a rich network of logics that accounts for a variety of discursive practices and their relation to the world---and the sights are wonderful. Reasons for Logic, Logic for Reasons is a true masterpiece."
