  • Summary

    This chapter returns to the three main features of deduction defined in Chapter 1 from a cognitive, empirically informed perspective: necessary truth-preservation, perspicuity, and belief-bracketing. It discusses experimental findings that lend support to the dialogical conceptualization of these three features presented in Chapter 4. It also discusses the notion of internalization as formulated by Lev Vygotsky, which allows for an explanation of how deductive practices can also take place in purely mono-agent situations: as an intrapersonal enactment of interpersonal dialogues. The upshot is that framing deductive practices dialogically provides cognitive scaffolding that facilitates the ontogenetic development of deductive reasoning in an individual.
