We ask whether social interaction demands sharing social concepts. We illustrate our point by depicting possible situations that emerge when two in- dividuals play chess. We formalize our hypothesis in First Order Logic and we show that the very idea of sharing social concepts poses an interesting challenge both from the standpoint of knowledge representation and of philosophical con- ceptual analysis. By endorsing a minimal notion of interaction, we conclude that sharing social concepts is not necessary for social interaction. Then, we relate our view to Wittgenstein’s and Kripke’s “Rule-following Considerations”

Abstract
We ask whether social interaction demands sharing social concepts. We illustrate our point by depicting possible situations that emerge when two in- dividuals play chess. We formalize our hypothesis in First Order Logic and we show that the very idea of sharing social concepts poses an interesting challenge both from the standpoint of knowledge representation and of philosophical con- ceptual analysis. By endorsing a minimal notion of interaction, we conclude that sharing social concepts is not necessary for social interaction. Then, we relate our view to Wittgenstein’s and Kripke’s “Rule-following Considerations”I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione
