Abstract:

The philosophy of language of Robert Brandom is based on a theoretical
structure composed of three main elements: the normative analysis of
linguistic practices, the inferential characterization of conceptual contents
and the expressive articulation of the relations between the former two.
Normative pragmatics aims to explain how linguistic practices are sufficient
to confer contentful states in those who engage in them. Inferential semantics
provides a theory of such pragmatic significances in terms of the inferential
relations that articulate conceptual contents. Rational expressivism is the
thesis that concept application is essentially a process of turning something
that can only be done into something that can also be said. Such a threefold
structure is the core of normative inferentialism. This book is a concise,
self-contained and comprehensive presentation of this philosophical
enterprise. It guides the reader through the analysis of Brandom's imposing
theoretical apparatus, the discovery of the roots of his approach in American
pragmatism and German idealism, till the exploration of some of its most
interesting and recent outcomes in pragmatics and semantics. It is a valuable
resource for both those who approach Brandom's work for the first time and
those who are interested in the potential of normative inferentialism.
