On How to Be a Dialogician

A Short Overview on Recent Developments on Dialogues and Games

  • Chapter
Book cover Logic, Thought and Action

Part of the book series: Logic, Epistemology, and the Unity of Science ((LEUS,volume 2))

Abstract

We will take as one of the main issues of this paper the challenge which the dialogical approaches offer to the relation of semantics and pragmatics concerning the concept of proof (strategy) and proposition (game). While our aim here will be to present the main technical and philosophical features of what can be seen as the dialogical approach to logic, illustrated through both very well known and new dialogics, we would also like to delineate the common pragmatic attitude which constitutes the cohesive force within the dialogical universe.
