Inquisitive Logic: Consequence and Inference in the Realm of Questions - Hardcover

$97.18

by Ivano Ciardelli (Author)This open access book makes a case for extending logic beyond its traditional boundaries, to encompass not only statements but also also questions. The motivations for this extension are examined in detail. It is shown that important notions, including logical answerhood and dependency, emerge as facets of the fundamental notion of entailment once logic is extended to questions, and can therefore be treated with the logician's toolkit, including model-theoretic cons...
