在本文中，我们将 warrant theory 发展为一门哲学学科，其关注逻辑分析中命题的推理正当性。Warrant theory 将逻辑重新概念化为一个规范性框架，用以管理命题可被引入、接受、拒绝及推理性地使用的条件。Warrant 被理解为推理资格，并与真、信念及其他心理态度相区分，同时考察了其与推理使用和意义的关系。随后，warrant-theoretic 分析被发展为一套系统方法，用于研究命题如何获得推理地位、该地位如何发展，以及推理立场如何通过依赖、相容、不相容和排斥等关系相互作用。接受与拒绝提供了双边词汇，用以表征正负推理立场及其相关的后果与承诺。最后，这些要素被整合进一个 warrant-theoretic 的逻辑定义中，即逻辑是对命题可被合法接受或拒绝的条件以及此类合法性所保证的推理转换的形式化与规范性研究。据此，逻辑后果与逻辑失败通过推理资格的存在、保持或缺失来理解，从而将逻辑的哲学主题定位于对推理正当性的系统性治理之中。
英文摘要
In this paper, we develop warrant theory as a philosophical discipline concerned with the inferential legitimacy of propositions within logical analysis. Warrant theory reconceptualises logic as a normative framework governing the conditions under which propositions may be introduced, accepted, rejected, and inferentially employed. Warrant is understood as inferential entitlement and is distinguished from truth, belief, and other psychological attitudes, while its relation to inferential use and meaning is examined. Warrant-theoretic analysis is then developed as a systematic method for investigating how propositions acquire inferential standing, how that standing develops, and how inferential positions interact through relations of dependence, compatibility, incompatibility, and exclusion. Acceptance and rejection provide the bilateral vocabulary for representing positive and negative inferential positions and the consequences and commitments associated with them. Finally, these elements are brought together in a warrant-theoretic definition of logic as the formal and normative study of the conditions under which propositions may be legitimately accepted or rejected and of the inferential transitions that such legitimacy warrants. On this account, logical consequence and logical failure are understood through the presence, preservation, or absence of inferential entitlement, thus locating the philosophical subject matter of logic in the systematic governance of inferential legitimacy.
