“…Reflective equilibrium applications have been used to account for the nature of logic (Peregrin & Svoboda, 2017), and also for justifying the normative status of logic (Prawitz, 2007;Resnik, 1985). However, it is widely known that this proposal has faced a number of criticisms (Martínez-Vidal, 2004;Pereira, 2006;Shapiro, 2000). I will not delve into a discussion of these criticisms here.…”

This paper advocates for the normative role of logic in reasoning. I offer a response, anchored in an externalist perspective, to two fronts of attack against the normativity thesis, namely Harman’s sceptical challenge and the accusation of naturalistic fallacy. On the one hand, I rework dialogical bridge principles and show that such principles satisfy adequacy criteria to deal with Harman’s challenge. On the other hand, I argue that it is possible to derive normative consequences from logical facts. This is because argumentative interactions among agents involve the acceptance of constitutive rules that entail obligations. Hence, since logical rules can be seen as constitutive of the social practice of reasoning, they create prescriptions for reasoning. Bridge principles make those obligations and prohibitions explicit.

As we celebrate the fiftieth knowledge acquisition conference this year it is appropriate to review progress in knowledge acquisition techniques not only over the quarter century since the conference series began but backwards through the millennia to the beginnings of knowledge capture and forwards through the foreseeable future to speculate on reasonable expectations, appropriate targets and potential surprises in the next quarter century.
