Brandom is one of the most original philosophers of our day, whose book \u003ci\u003eMaking It Explicit\u003c\/i\u003e covered and extended a vast range of topics in metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of language--the very core of analytic philosophy. This new work provides an approachable introduction to the complex system that \u003ci\u003eMaking It Explicit\u003c\/i\u003e mapped out. A tour of the earlier book's large ideas and relevant details, \u003ci\u003eArticulating Reasons\u003c\/i\u003e offers an easy entry into two of the main themes of Brandom's work: the idea that the semantic content of a sentence is determined by the norms governing inferences to and from it, and the idea that the distinctive function of logical vocabulary is to let us make our tacit inferential commitments explicit. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrandom's work, making the move from representationalism to inferentialism, constitutes a near-Copernican shift in the philosophy of language--and the most important single development in the field in recent decades. \u003ci\u003eArticulating Reasons\u003c\/i\u003e puts this accomplishment within reach of nonphilosophers who want to understand the state of the foundations of semantics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBrandom, Robert B.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Robert B.
