Logic and Reasoning
Original language description
Logic, it is often held, is primarily concerned with reasoning; and the conviction that logic and reasoning are two sides of the same coin nowadays usually equates with the conviction that logic spells out some directives for the 'right' management of beliefs. In this paper I put forward an alternative view, based on seeing rules of logic as constitutive rules, not instructing us how to reason, but rather providing us with certain vehicles in terms of which to reason. This also emphasizes the social nature of beliefs: they are entities forged in a social mold, formed by rules originating from social argumentative practices. Because of this fact, I suggest that trying to understand logic by means of studying (rules of) the kinematics of beliefs of a solitary individual is essentially misguided.
