Abstract

In this paper I will provide a unique formalism for defeasible reasoning that takes into account how an agentactivates a perspective in response to a situation in whichreasoning using a concept is called for, how each perspectiveis organized, and how the contents of each activatedperspective is related to the contents of other perspectives.I name the proposed structure a perspectival defensible theory.To formalize the theory, first I will present graphicalrepresentations of the theory motivated by a psychologicallyplausible cognitive theory, then I will present a prooftheory.
