A New Dialectical Theory of Explanation
This paper offers a dialogue theory of explanation. A successful explanation is defined as a transfer of understanding in a dialogue system in which a questioner and a respondent take part. The questioner asks a special sort of why-question that asks for understanding of something and the respondent provides a reply that transfers understanding to the questioner. The theory is drawn from recent...
متن کاملDialectical Characterization of Consistent Query Explanation with Existential Rules
This paper provides a dialectical characterization of IAR and Brave semantics via argumentation dialogue. We propose a minimal argumentation dialogue system and investigate the relation between its outcome and these semantics. We show that Brave semantics corresponds to a dialogue where the opponent of the Brave-entailed query wins in any dialogue. We show also that IAR semantics corresponds to...
متن کاملNew Dialectical Rules ForAmbiguity
A set of ten rules is proposed for dealing with problems of ambiguity when interpreting a text of argumentative discourse. The rules are based on Grice's pragmatic rules for a collaborative conversation and on principles and maxims used to deal with ambiguity in interpreting legal and religious writings. The rules are meant to be applied to a given argument used in a given case, and to resolve ...
متن کاملA Program in Dialectical Rough Set Theory
A dialectical rough set theory focussed on the relation between roughly equivalent objects and classical objects was introduced in [1] by the present author. The focus of our investigation is on elucidating the minimal conditions on the nature of granularity, underlying semantic domain and nature of the general rough set theories (RST) involved for possible extension of the semantics to more ge...
متن کاملTowards a Dialectical Theory of Human Tool Use
One of the most exciting issues in psychology is what are the psychological mechanisms underlying human tool use? The computational approach assumes that the use of a tool (e.g., a hammer) requires the extraction of sensory information about object properties (heavy, rigid), which can then be translated into appropriate motor outputs (grasping, hammering). The ecological approach suggests that ...
