Brandom and the "Logicist's Dilemma"
نویسنده
چکیده
In this introduction to the tutorials I will give a brief sketch of the place of Brandom's ideas in the network of "classical" authors, focusing on some of the central tenets introduced by Making it Explicit (MIE), which antecedes the ideas developed in Between Saying and Doing (BSD). I give here a schematic presentation with some references to pages in MIE and BSD.

In order to assess whether this claim is sound, I analyze the three types of philo...
