Making It Explicit by Robert B. Brandom
Reasoning, Representing, and Discursive Commitment
This philosophical work delves into the intricate relationship between language, thought, and meaning, proposing a comprehensive framework for understanding how individuals make their implicit knowledge explicit through linguistic practices. It explores the nature of discursive commitments and the role of social practices in shaping our understanding of concepts, emphasizing the importance of inferential reasoning in the process of making meaning. The book challenges traditional views by arguing that meaning is not a static property of expressions but is dynamically constituted through the interplay of social interactions and normative commitments.
