BARDAUIL, Joaquín  and  VASQUEZ DAVILA, Omar. Towards an Extended Anti-exceptionalism: Practices, Revision and Adoption. Anal. filos. [online]. 2022, vol.42, n.2, pp.277-302.  Epub Dec 05, 2022. ISSN 1851-9636.  http://dx.doi.org/10.36446/af.2022.408.

The Adoption Problem (Padró, 2015), according to which it is impossible to adopt a logic, prompts the idea that the practice of inferring takes priority over the conception of logic as a theory. This problem raises a challenge for the anti-exceptionalist conception of logic, which takes logic principles as mere hypotheses or beliefs subject to revision. In our view, the main issue of the anti-exceptionalist conception of logic has been to leave the question about the nature of logic as a practice open. But it is completely possible to answer this question under anti-exceptionalist lines. In this paper we develop a naturalistic conception of the practice of inferring which bridges this gap and answers the challenge raised by the Adoption Problem.

Keywords : Adoption Problem; Anti-exceptionalism; Logica Docens; Logica Utens.
