ROBERT B. BRANDOM is one of the most original philosophers of our
day, whose book Making It Explicit covered and extended a vast
range of topics in metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of
language -- the very core of analytic philosophy. This new work
provides an approachable introduction to the complex system that
Making It Explicit mapped out. A tour of the earlier book's large
ideas and relevant details, Articulating Reasons offers an easy
entry into two of the main themes of Brandom's work: the idea that
the semantic content of a sentence is determined by the norms
governing inferences to and from it, and the idea that the
distinctive function of logical vocabulary is to let us make our
tacit inferential commitments explicit.
Brandom's work, making the move from representationalism to
inferentialism, constitutes a near-Copernican shift in the
philosophy of language -- and the most important single development
in the field in recent decades. Articulating Reasons puts this
accomplishment within reach of nonphilosophers who want to
understand the state of the foundations of semantics.
