Dialogical Roots of Deduction

What Hacker News says

   The Dialogical Roots of Deduction[0] is an excellent book that I was recommended by my math professor after making a comment about how mathematics are a form of persuasion, not a religious truth. It was refreshing to read something I could agree with so easily. That being said, I think a lot of philosophy of mathematics is not as insightful unless you also study mathematics. It is easy to misunderstand or try to apply theorems incorrectly.

   Catarina Dutilh Novaes has been arguing much the same thing. She has a 2021 book out, The Dialogical Roots of Deduction, which is on my list but I haven't gotten there yet.

   I also haven't watched this video, but I'm linking it because I can't find an earlier one where she points out that the basis of logic is in rhetoric.
