International audienceThis review of Mercier and Sperber's The Enigma of Reason presents some recent (and at times personal) history of the Reasoning literature in order to underline how innovative their Argumentative Theory is and to provide the backdrop to three comments. The first comment addresses their deflationary view of deductive inference-making -- which presents deductive abilities as so run-of-the-mill that they are not differentiable from other lower-order intuitions. I take issue with this characterization and describe five strands of positive research showing that fundamental deductive inference-making affords regularities in behavior that sets it apart from other kinds of inference-making discussed in the context of Reasonin...
