Reading Brandom (eBook, ePUB)

On Making It Explicit
Redaktion: Weiss, Bernhard; Wanderer, Jeremy

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Robert Brandom's Making It Explicit: Reasoning, Representing and Discursive Commitment is 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 Brandom clarifies, critically appraises and furthers understanding of Brandom's important book.

Divided into four parts - 'Normative Pragmatics'; 'The Challenge of Inferentialism'; 'Inferentialist Semantics'; and 'Brandom's Replies', Reading Brandom covers the following key aspects of Brandom's 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 Brandom is also an excellent companion volume to Reading McDowell: On Mind and World, also published by Routledge.
