Quantifiers and Ontological Fluctuations: A Dialogical and Dynamical Point of View of Existence

Abstract

The objective of this article is, from the notion of existence as a function of choice, to propose a dynamic quantifier capable of capturing ontological slides or fluctuations within a logical proof. Indeed, we call ontological sliding the passage from indetermination to the ontological determination of the singular terms involved in a proof. Both notions will be presented in the pragmatic approach of Dialogics that, due to its dual semantics, allows to handle both questions in an optimal fashion.
