Discursive reasoning indirectly addresses meant realities by means of addressing things said, on the model of Aristotelian dialectic. The detour by way of examining the commitments implicit in things said turns out to be essential to a non-naive method that has the potential to iteratively free itself of assumptions. (See also What and Why; Interpretation; Kantian Discipline; Dialogue; Iterative Questioning.)
