Abstract
AbstractThroughout this book, we have emphasized different ways in which questions are relevant in logic. We saw that questions can be seen as names for types of information, and that by generalizing logic to questions we can capture logical relations holding between information types. We also saw that in the inquisitive setting, a more general account of certain logical operators emerges, which boils down to the classical one in the special case of statements, but which also covers the role of these operators in questions. Furthermore, we saw that questions may be used in inferences as placeholders for arbitrary information of a certain type, and that by reasoning with questions we can build formal proofs of the existence of certain logical dependencies (and of certain logical relations of answerhood and presupposition).
