Abstract
The search for meaning, in view of an objective, characterizes every activity of the human cognitive system at all levels: perception, language, reasoning. The interpretative function is a characteristic inherent to all reasoning processes and is an adaptive character-istic of the human cognitive system in general. Then, we do agree with the authors re-garding the privileged relationship between language and thought that they underline in the argumentative function of thought. However, in our view, understanding, alias inter-preting, precedes argumenting. Research on group problem solving will been discussed from this perspectiveFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
