β¦ Synopsis
Inferences with Ignorance focuses on two formal logic systems that employ the type of inferences in which questions are used in addition to statements. Not merely capturing questions as part of a logical apparatus, Michal PeliΕ‘ also emphasizes the role of question-asking in communication.
