Logic and dialectic
open-in-new
<p><a href="/facts/Formal_science/U0MaCPB0">Formal scientists</a> have attempted to combine <a href="/facts/Formal_logic/SaI7Y3wN">formal logic</a> (the science of <a href="/facts/Validity_(logic)/oMGkywGC">deductively valid</a> inferences or of <a href="/facts/Logical_truth/N0bUYhUW">logical truths</a>) and <a href="/facts/Dialectic/NTL69ms6">dialectic</a> (a form of reasoning based upon dialogue of <a href="/facts/Argument/1K1e3Xg4">arguments</a> and counter-arguments) through <a href="/facts/Formal_system/KaeDAjK7">formalisation</a> of dialectic. These attempts include pre-formal and partially formal treatises on argument and <a href="/facts/Dialectic/NTL69ms6">dialectic</a>, systems based on <a href="/facts/Defeasible_reasoning/3al6qufN">defeasible reasoning</a>, and systems based on <a href="/facts/Game_semantics/FJSuV3un">game semantics</a> and <a href="/facts/Dialogical_logic/LsYM5z2J">dialogical logic</a>. </p>
