The Analytical Pragmatism of Robert Brandom
Abstract
This article is dedicated to reconstructive analysis of the works of Robert Brandom, one of the leading representatives of the Pittsburgh school of Neo-Hegelianism. The author focuses on Brandom’s pragmatic approach to some basic epistemological and metaphysical issues, as well as his «anaphoric theory of truth» which is a variety of deflationism. The content of the key concepts of Brandom’s analytical pragmatism («discursive commitment», «normative status», «semantic holism», «inferentialism») is elucidated.
