The Dialogical Roots of Deduction: Historical, Cognitive, and Philosophical Perspectives on Reasoning - Catarina Dutilh Novaes

Descriere The Dialogical Roots of Deduction: Historical, Cognitive, and Philosophical Perspectives on Reasoning - Catarina Dutilh Novaes

\nThis comprehensive account of the concept and practices of deduction is the first to bring together perspectives from philosophy, history, psychology and cognitive science, and mathematical practice. Catarina Dutilh Novaes draws on all of these perspectives to argue for an overarching conceptualization of deduction as a dialogical practice: deduction has dialogical roots, and these dialogical roots are still largely present both in theories and in practices of deduction. Dutilh Novaes' account also highlights the deeply human and in fact social nature of deduction, as embedded in actual human practices; as such, it presents a highly innovative account of deduction. The book will be of interest to a wide range of readers, from advanced students to senior scholars, and from philosophers to mathematicians and cognitive scientists.
