Robert Brandoms Making It Explicit: Reasoning, Representing and Discursive Commitmentis one of the most significant, talked about and daunting books published in philosophy in recent years. Featuring specially-commissioned chapters by leading international philosophers with replies by Brandom himself, Reading Brandomclarifies, critically appraises and furthers understanding of Brandoms important book.
Divided into four parts - Normative Pragmatics; The Challenge of Inferentialism; Inferentialist Semantics; and Brandoms Replies, Reading Brandomcovers the following key aspects of Brandoms work:
- inferentialism vs. representationalism
- normativity in philosophy of language and mind
- pragmatics and the centrality of asserting
- language entries and exits
- meaning and truth
- semantic deflationism and logical locutions.
Essential reading for students and scholars of philosophy of language and mind, Reading Brandomis also an excellent companion volume to Reading McDowell: On Mind and World, also published by Routledge.
