"Robert Brandom" is one of the most significant philosophers
writing today, yet paradoxically philosophers have found it
difficult to get to grips with the details and implications of his
work. This book aims to facilitate critical engagement with
Brandom's ideas by providing an accessible overview of Brandom's
project and the context for an initial assessment. Jeremy
Wanderer's examination focuses on Brandom's inferentialist
conception of rationality, and the core part of this conception
that aims to specify the structure that a set of performances
within a social practice must have for the participants to count as
sapient beings by virtue of their participation in the practice,
and for the performances within the practice to have objective
semantic content by virtue of their featuring within the practice.
Wanderer's exploration of these two goals forms the structure to
the book. It Includes: Part I that provides a structural model of
linguistic practice and considers various groups of potential
participants in terms of their relationships to this practice; and,
Part II that examines the meaning of the performances that are
caught up in this gameplaying practice. Brandom's approach to
semantics is outlined and the challenge such an approach has in
allowing for a representational dimension of language and thought
is explored. Wanderer offers readers a valuable framework for
understanding the Brandomian system and helps situate Brandom's
systematic theorizing within contemporary Anglo-American
philosophy. This book will be a sought after aid to reading Brandom
for advanced students and philosophers engaging with his
challenging body of work.
