PhD Thesis - Abstract

Considérations dialogiques autour de la dynamique épistémique et de la notion de condition dans le droit


The project of this thesis stems from the observation of a split between epistemology and epistemic logic. If some attempts at conciliation have been successful, here we explore the possibility of reconciliation between epistemology and epistemic logic through argumentation. Studying epistemic logic in argumentative practice, that is to say in dialogues, enables us to benefit from a dynamic framework to explore the dynamics and the meaning of the language of epistemic logic. We show that this reconciliation of epistemology and epistemic logic in an argumentative practice is relevant in the legal field because it offers an original approach to the notion of condition in law.
