In this volume, Maher contextualizes the work of a group of
contemporary analytic philosophers The Pittsburgh School whose work
is characterized by an interest in the history of philosophy and a
commitment to normative functionalism, or the insight that to
identify something as a manifestation of conceptual capacities is
to place it in a space of norms. Wilfrid Sellars claimed that
humans are distinctive because they occupy a norm-governed "space
of reasons." Along with Sellars, Robert Brandom and John McDowell
have tried to work out the implications of that idea for
understanding knowledge, thought, norms, language, and intentional
action. The aim of this book is to introduce their shared views on
those topics, while also charting a few key disputes between
them."
