The first type of proofs are called “proofs-that”\, whilst the latter “proofs-why” or “explanatory proofs”. A great part of the logic of the XX century has been dedicated to the formalization and the development of proofs-that\, leaving untouched the analysis of proofs-why.  In this talk we will try to fill this gap and explore the realm of explanatory proofs. We will offer a formalization of explanatory proofs and we will attempt to show what type of results can be obtained with such a formalization.

I propose a novel metasemantic account which draws on Lewis’ insights by taking language to be a solution to a repeated strategy problem\, while rejecting the idea that this strategy problem is always characterized by common interests. On this account\, communication is a privileged function of language\, but it is not unique; language also serves to establish and maintain social control and social identity.
