Dialogues, Reasons and Endorsement

Abstract

The main aim of the present chapter is to provide a systematic overview on the dialogical framework called Immanent Reasoning. Moreover, we would like to suggest that, if we follow the dialogical insight that reasoning and meaning are constituted during interaction, and we develop this insight in a dialogical framework for Martin-Löf’s Constructive Type Theory, a conception of knowledge emerges that has important links with Walter Young’s (2017) concept of Dialectical Forge in the context of Islamic Law. Moreover, both the dialogical approach and the Dialectical Forge seem to be close to Robert Brandom’s (1994, 2000) inferential pragmatism. The content of the present chapter is basically the same as in Rahman (2019).
