The Mind-Body Problem and Brandom’s Analytic Pragmatism
نویسنده
چکیده
I propose to solve the hard problem in the philosophy of mind by means of Brandom‟s notion of the pragmatically mediated semantic relation. The explanatory gap between a phenomenal concept and the corresponding theoretical concept is a gap in the pragmatically mediated semantic relation between them. It is closed if we do not neglect the pragmatics.

Toward an Analytic-Pragmatist Account of Folk Psychology?
In this paper we want to establish two points of interest to Brandom’s project of analytic pragmatism. First, we aim to show how, in light of this project, Brandom’s deontic scorekeeping model can be used as a valuable descriptive tool for characterizing folk psychological interpretation, and how this reveals certain problematic assumptions underlying dominant positions in the debate on folk ps...
متن کاملA Brandom-ian view of Reinforcement Learning towards strong-AI
The analytic philosophy of Robert Brandom, based on the ideas of pragmatism, paints a picture of sapience, through inferentialism.

In the reconstruction proposed, the combination of pragmatism and analytical philosophy that is at the basis of Brandom’s program seems to have many aspects in common with the critical and dialectical conception of metaphysics that we find in Kant and Hegel. My paper is...
متن کاملDiscourse as practice: from Bourdieu to Brandom
This paper investigates Robert Brandom’s programme of logical expressivism and in the process attempts to clarify his use of the term practice, by means of a detailed comparison with the works of sociologist and anthropologist Pierre Bourdieu. It turns out that the two scholars have a number of concerns in common, including the means by which core practices can be amalgamated into more sophisti...
