The essays in this collection explore the idea that discursive
norms—the norms governing our thought and talk—are profoundly
social. Not only do these norms govern and structure our social
interactions, but they are sustained by a variety of social and
institutional structures. The chapters are divided into three
thematic sections. The first offers historical perspectives on
discursive norms, including a chapter by Robert Brandom on the way
Hegel transformed Kant’s normativist approach to representation
by adding both a social and a historicist dimension to it. Section
II features four chapters that examine the sociality of normativity
from within a broadly naturalistic framework. The third and final
section focuses on the social dimension of linguistic phenomena
such as online speech acts, oppressive speech, and assertions. The
Social Institution of Discursive Norms will be of interest to
scholars and advanced students working in philosophy of language,
philosophy of mind, and social philosophy.
The essays in this volume explore some of the disconcerting
realities of fanaticism, by analyzing its unique dynamics, and
considering how it can be productively confronted. The book
features both analytic and continental philosophical approaches to
fanaticism. Working at the intersections of epistemology,
philosophy of emotions, political philosophy, and philosophy of
religion, the contributors address a range of questions related to
this increasingly relevant, yet widely neglected topic. What are
the distinctive features of fanaticism? What are its causes,
motivations, and reasons? In what ways, if at all, is fanaticism
epistemically, ethically, and politically problematic? And how can
fanaticism be combatted or curtailed? The Philosophy of Fanaticism
will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in
epistemology, philosophy of religion, philosophy of emotions, moral
psychology, and political philosophy.

This edited volume examines the relationship between collective
intentionality and inferential theories of meaning. The book
consists of three main sections. The first part contains essays
demonstrating how researchers working on inferentialism and
collective intentionality can learn from one another. The essays in
the second part examine the dimensions along which philosophical
and empirical research on human reasoning and collective
intentionality can benefit from more cross-pollination. The final
part consists of essays that offer a closer examination of themes
from inferentialism and collective intentionality that arise in the
work of Wilfrid Sellars. Groups, Norms and Practices provides a
template for continuing an interdisciplinary program in philosophy
and the sciences that aims to deepen our understanding of human
rationality, language use, and sociality.
