Abstract

Do we follow rules of inference when reasoning? As intuitive as the positive answer to this question is, there are a number of difficulties in linking logical rules and inferential practices. The Problem of the Adoption of Rules of Inference constitutes a challenge for anyone who proposes that we can follow new inferential patterns from the recognition of rules. In this special issue, various topics connected to whether we can follow a new inferential pattern by virtue of a rule are explored.
