Brandom's Burdens: Compositionality and Inferentialism

Abstract

Often enough the subtext of pragmatism is some or other sort of idealism.We wouldn't be surprised if that turned out to be true in Brandom's case too; but we won't raise the issue here.Brandom is entirely alert to this.Cj. passages like "Forming an intention ... to put a ball through a hoop requires knowing what it is to put a ball through a hoopwhat must be true for that intention to succeed" (82).
