This monograph proposes a new way of implementing interaction in
logic. It also provides an elementary introduction to Constructive
Type Theory (CTT). The authors equally emphasize basic ideas and
finer technical details. In addition, many worked out exercises and
examples will help readers to better understand the concepts under
discussion. One of the chief ideas animating this study is that the
dialogical understanding of definitional equality and its execution
provide both a simple and a direct way of implementing the CTT
approach within a game-theoretical conception of meaning. In
addition, the importance of the play level over the strategy level
is stressed, binding together the matter of execution with that of
equality and the finitary perspective on games constituting
meaning. According to this perspective the emergence of concepts
are not only games of giving and asking for reasons (games
involving Why-questions), they are also games that include moves
establishing how it is that the reasons brought forward accomplish
their explicative task. Thus, immanent reasoning games are
dialogical games of Why and How.

This book promotes the research of present-day women working in
ancient and medieval philosophy, with more than 60 women having
contributed in some way to the volume in a fruitful collaboration.
It contains 22 papers organized into ten distinct parts spanning
the sixth century BCE to the fifteenth century CE. Each part has
the same structure: it features, first, a paper which sets up the
discussion, and then, one or two responses that open new
perspectives and engage in further reflections. Our authors'
contributions address pivotal moments and players in the history of
philosophy: women philosophers in antiquity, Cleobulina of Rhodes,
Plato, Lucretius, Bardaisan of Edessa, Alexander of Aphrodisias,
Plotinus, Porphyry, Peter Abelard, Robert Kilwardby, William
Ockham, John Buridan, and Isotta Nogarola. The result is a
thought-provoking collection of papers that will be of interest to
historians of philosophy from all horizons. Far from being an
isolated effort, this book is a contribution to the ever-growing
number of initiatives which endeavour to showcase the work of women
in philosophy.
