guslWhat is a formal theory?
It's one which is easily validated by checking step-by-step without using a theorem prover.
And my dream is that argumentation in all its forms (whether mathematical, scientific or philosophical) be put into this form. Of course, this is a dream I believe to be logically possible... I don't have illogical dreams. But not only that: I also believe it's feasible. But this could be my naive optimism.
Am I being greedily reductionistic?
Please criticize my view.
