Why Textual Reasoning?

Introduction

This first issue of the new E-Journal of Textual Reasoning aims to present the current theoretical thinking on the nature and purposes of Textual Reasoning. The editors asked Peter Ochs, Robert Gibbs, and Aryeh Cohen to supply us with representative statements and both members of our society and outside figures have provided us with commentaries. There have been a number of other published attempts to define the presuppositions and purposes of TR, but the present attempt shows both significant development and clarity.
