| Conceptual Realism | Brandom | Martin Seel criticism Die ZEIT April 01 HabermasVsBrandom: "conceptual realism" (conceptual realism: (HusserlVs) concedes the concepts real existence. The world is designed as our cpncepts require - turns the architecture of the post-Hegelian thinking upside down - instead of confrontation with the contingent world that must prove itself in the formation of adequate terms, a mere replica takes the place of in-themselves-existing contents - BrandomVsHabermas: discards the "positivist image" of a testing of our concepts in a concept-free outer world. |

| Facts | Austin | I 231 Fact/Austin: "fact" is just another term for "true statement" (pro Brandom, VsAyer).

| Facts | Ayer | Brandom facts = true statements - AyerVsBrandom: facts are not true statements. I 285 Ayer: a statement cannot define a fact, because it is far too unspecific, it is compatible with all sorts of facts. I 286 Def Fact/Ayer: that what makes a statement true - Ayer pro "make true". Facts are not some linguistic entities, but objective states of affairs. - "Someone is writing in this room" is not made true but by anyone, but by me. >Truthmakers. I 286 Disjunctive Fact: many authorsVs: a statement cannot determine a fact, because it is too unspecific - negative statements are less accurate E.g. "London is not the capital of France". >Negation. I 289 Def Facts/Ayer: a fact which constitutes the objective content of the true statements of this class (>statement). - Apparent circle: statements and facts are mutually defined. Solution: rejection of the coherence theory. >Coherence theory.

| Facts | Brandom | I 466ff Def Deflationism: denies that content in concepts can be explained with truth conditions and compliance with the facts, properties and objects (VsCorrespondence theory). >Deflationism. Fact: "making true": misleading: it is not the fact that p makes true that p. >Truthmakers. I 469 E.g. It is not the fact that the Persians were defeated by the Greeks at Plataea, which makes that the Greeks defeated the Persians at Plataea. Facts: if facts are to be explained, the explanation does not need to refer back to something normative: The planetary orbits would also be elliptical without beings that set standards. --- Rorty VI 179 ff Whether a statement is true does not depend on whether somebody makes it. But our linguistic practices could not be what they are, if the facts were different. However, the non-linguistic facts could be essentially as they are, even if our linguistic practices were completely different. Form of thought. Definition Fact/Brandom, "something assertible" (neologism by Brandom: "claimable"). - There is the act of asserting and there is "the asserted" - facts are not the "true asserted" but the assertible. - Facts make assertions true. However, inferentially. RortyVsBrandom: It is as if I, like Moliere, refer to "the soporific power" as inferential in order to make it seem to be above suspicion. --- Brandom I 476 Fact/Brandom: no contrast between how things are and what we can say and think - Facts are (the content of) true assertions and thoughts - Wittgenstein: we don not stop opinionating when we are facing the facts. I 477 Wittgenstein: Facts are connected and structured by the objects and their properties. I 866 Negative Fact/Brandom: there is no mystery -> distinction between normative and non-normative expressions. - Also > conditional facts > modal facts - realm of facts and norms are not opposites - the normative is part of the factual. >Norms. --- Seel2 III 149 Def Fact/Brandom: Content of true assertions - Assertions/Brandom: obtain their content through the use of concepts in the context of the sentences uttered in each case. So the concept of fact can only be analysed together with the concept of assertion. However, this conceptual dependency is not genetic - the world is the epitome of all the facts, no matter when and with what success thoughts about the world are created. "There was a time when nobody used concepts, because there was no discursive practice - but there was never a time when there were no facts - Seel: therefore, neither concepts nor facts depend on the existence of thinking beings - at the same time, the theory of discursive practice appears to be a theory of the fundamental structure of the world - Seel: KantVsBrandom: Warns just of that - (in the case of Hegel in vain). KantVsBrandom/KantVsHegel: false: Conclusion from thinking to being. >Thinking, >Being. |

| Inferentialism | Brandom | I 205 Inferentialism/BrandomVs: the following varieties: 1) content construed only as representation 2) quality of the inference only formal 3) rationality only instruments (purpose-means-justification). Brandom: Thesis: In favor of strong inferentialism, VsHyper-inferentialism: according to which the inferential structure is always sufficient for the content. >Content. --- II 45 Inferentialism/Brandom: Definition weak inferentialism: inferential structure is a necessary element for defining the conceptual. Definition strong inferentialism: an ample inferential structure is sufficient to explain the conceptual content. Definition Hyper-inferentialism: a closely understood inferential structure is sufficient - Definition ample (considering the circumstances, not only subject). Thesis: here a strong inferentialism is represented - closer to holism than to atomism. >Holism, >Atomism.

Definition Second Nature/McDowell: "People acquire a second nature, among other things, by developing conceptual abilities whose interrelationships belong to the logical space of reasons." (E.g., initiation, entry into a moral community, "education"). That one's eyes are opened gives one the ability to be rationally controlled by the world. And thus to be able to make judgments that are responsible to the world. In addition, this gives a rational freedom.

| Ontological Commitment | Kripke | III 379 "There is"/interpretation/ontology/"ontological commitment"/Kripke: can it even be a meaningful question whether someone who says "there are people" is "committed to a viewpoint" that such things as people exist? (KripkeVsBrandom). It is simply the case that "there are people" is true when there are people. What other question is there? (KripkeVsQuineans, epigones of Quine; Quine himself, on the other hand, is about formulations like "there are 3 meters between..."). >"There is"/existence. Kripke: one could perhaps claim that in some rare special cases "there are" is only superficially reminiscent of "there are rabbits" and then brings with it no "ontological commitment", and one could even try substitutional quantification to show this. But it would be something else to say that "there are rabbits" is not true iff there are rabbits. This is analogous to denying that "John is tall" is true, iff John is tall. "Ontological commitment"/Kripke: the ontological commitment was not developed for "there are rabbits". Now someone might think it was developed for first level referential language, and the question is whether English should be translated into such a referential language or into a substitutional one. The latter does not make any ontological specifications. >Substitutional quantification, cf. >Referential quantification. KripkeVs: the question does not make sense: we have not learned a formal language like our mother tongue. In some logic books the crazy notation "(Ex)" is explained either in such a way that one gives an example: "(Ex)Rabbit(x)" means: "there is an x that is a rabbit" or... III 380 ...by a formal definition of fulfillment (as here, see above). Def satisfaction/fulfillment/Kripke: "(Exi) Rabbit (xi)" iff there is an s' that deviates from s at the most i-th place that fulfills "Rabbit (xi)". ((s) Example "cat3 is not on the mat" differs from "cat1-5 is on the mat" in the third place.) Then the quantifiers are assumed to go over a non-empty area and the technical term "non-empty" is explained by saying that D is not empty iff there is an element of D. |

| World/Thinking | Brandom | Rorty VI 188 Rorty: Brandom: thought and speech give us a perspective access to a non-perspective world. (Goes beyond >Nietzsche, >Goodman, >Dewey). --- Brandom I 474 World/Thinking/Language/Fact/Brandom: words form a separate and largely independent realm within our world. 1) nonverbal facts could be the same, even if the verbal facts about the world were different. 2) signs could be the same, even if the non-verbal facts were quite different. Solution: our discursive practices are not so isolated from the world. - Important argument: the nonverbal facts may be the same, although our discursive practices were different, but not vice versa! Because the practices are not things like sounds or words that could be specified independent from the objects. --- II 63 Reality/Thought/World/Brandom: the difference is expressed in our use of words such from or about. >Use. --- Martin Seel Die ZEIT April 2001 World/Brandom: paragon of the facts, regardless of whether they are detected.

Here "the author" is not a constitutive part of the sentence. reason: Usefully is a sentence which can be negated. E.g. useful: "The unicorn does not exist", "the largest finite number does not exist". But one could not say if the unicorn would be a constitutive part of the sentence. Russell: Then the unicorn cannot be part of any fact. So statements are no facts. (VsAustin, VsAyer, VsBrandom). |

| Brandom, R. | Field Vs Brandom, R. | II 149 Reference/Index/Field: Georgej is identical with the reference from Mary’s Term "George" on occasion Z. This allows me to say ... "what Mary referred to on occasion Z ...". Demonstratives/Field: the approach works accordingly for demonstratives. Problem: I cannot put my own use of "this" in the place of Mary’s use. Solution/Field: an index suh as E.g. "This Mary, Z" Brandom: this is a means of incorporating Mary’s use of the expression into her own language. ((s) What is incorporated is the foreign use). FieldVsBrandom: This looks as if there were a non-deflationary concept of reference, ((s) thus determined by the content?) that could be applied to Mary’s pronoun, and that our anaphorically dependent phrase gets its reference from there. But I believe that his model is very close to ours of incorporation. |

| Brandom, R. | McDowell Vs Brandom, R. | Esfeld I 185 McDowell: (1996, S 31 32): we are held captive by an oscillation between two positions: 1. a coherentism, that only permits rational relations between convictions. 2. the myth of the given, which confuses a causal relationship with a rational one. That is, it gives us an excuse rather than a justification. I 186 McDowellVstheory of coherence: lets revolve our convictions in the void, because no rational constraint on the part of the world is allowed. Solution: Term/world/McDowell: thesis: the conceptual realm is to be perceived of as having no boundaries: it does not end there, where people and their interactions end, rather it includes the entire physical realm. Content/McDowell: the facts themselves, which make up the world. To draw a boundary between the conceptual and the non-conceptual would prevent that we could utilize wordly, rational constraints on our convictions. Esfeld: that could be understood as meaning that this limit is only shifted so that the conceptual includes the experience, but then the relationship between world and experience would still be merely causal. World/McDowell: is in itself conceptual! McDowellVsBrandom: Vs inferential semantics. McDowellVsQuine: Vs confirmation of holism. I 187 McDowell/Esfeld: opens up the prospect of a comprehensive holism based on a holism philosophy of mind. The holism of persuasion refers to the whole conceptual realm. McDowell's unlimited conceptual realm thus expands the holism of persuasion. The physical world itself is not outside the realm of intelligibility. |

| Brandom, R. | Rorty Vs Brandom, R. | VI 195 De re/objective/subjective/Brandom: (according to Rorty): with de re attributions he wants to re-introduce the old distinction subjective / objective. Ex Mary thinks of a cow that it is a deer. >de re/>de dicto. VI 196 RortyVsBrandom: instead: distinction between better and worse tools. Not "real properties". Progress/Brandom: more and more true assertions about the outside world. Progress/RortyVsBrandom: ever better tools for ever better purposes. Brandom does secretly fancy a "bird's eye view", that he himself had declared impossible. Norm/RortyVsBrandom/RortyVsKant: as Kant, Brandom endeavors too much to reach a compromise where none is tolerated! So he ends up between two chairs. When he says: VI 197 "In our standards, the interest to represent things right is invested from the outset", then he is being interpreted differently by aggressive realists like Searle than by well-meaning pragmatists. Truth/Brandom: what corresponds to non-persons. SearleVsBrandom: would ask him how he knew what these non-persons expect and deserve. VI 198 Def fact/Brandom: "something claimable" (neologism of Brandom). There is the act of claiming, and there is "the alleged". Facts are not the "true alleged" but the claimable. Facts make assertions true. However, inferential! VI 198/199 RortyVsBrandom/RortyVsInferentialism: that's like when I call Molière Ex "soporific power" (vis dormitiva) inferential, to make it seem beyond any suspicion. But that tells us nothing more than with the combination of two clauses: If something has soporific force, it will put people to sleep. "The claimable" is of no use to us, not even inferentially! Reality/knowledge/world/BrandomVsRorty: it has paradoxical consequences, if one denies that there were truths regarding photons before the appearance of the word "photon". Ex chain of reason: 1. five million years ago there were photons. 2. It was then the case that there were photons. 3. It is true that it was then the case that there were photons. 4. It was then true that there were photons. Rorty: of course, there is nothing to criticize about that, yet there were philosophers who did! Heidegger: Truth/person/reality/world/knowledge/existence/natural laws/NG/Heidegger/Rorty: "before Newton, Newton's laws were neither true nor false". (sic). Rorty: Heidegger might have said: "Because the truth is a property of sentences, and since vocabularies are created by people, the same applies to truths." Truth/Rorty: property of sentences! RortyVsBrandom: Heidegger and I according to Brandom: paradoxical assertion, but perhaps it is just as paradoxical if Brandom denies dogs and toddlers convictions (unless in the "secondary meaning"). |

| Brandom, R. | Meixner Vs Brandom, R. | I 115 Proposition/MeixnerVsBrandom: their special proximity to language leads to certain distinctions being made which lead to false identifications when equated with facts (state of affairs). Facts are not "true statements". |

| Brandom, R. | Newen Vs Brandom, R. | NS 163 Justification/Brandom/Newen/Schrenk: may be an entailment in the opposite direction. E.g. expecting thunder when there was lightning. NS I 164 4) as a contact with the world: language entry rules (entry rules) and exit rules. As inferential roles. a) language exit rule: actions are referred to as adequate practical conclusions, e.g. "The pot is boiling over" >urges for the action of taking it from the stove. b) Entry rule: involves perceptions of both the environment and the own body states. This leads to perception reports. VsInferentialism/VsBrandom/Newen/Schrenk: Problem: 1) People make mistakes or they are differently well-informed or differently clever. Does that then not mean that people must assign different meanings to utterances? Solution: a certain externalism: sentence meanings do not depend on the individual speaker, but is the product of social interaction. Vs: 2) there are certainly known errors related to probabilities for which many people fall. Problem: how to avoid collective errors becoming meaning-constitutive? VsBrandom: Problems: A: how can semantic inferentialism explain compositionality? B: how can it explain the concepts of reference and truth which, after all, still play a central role? NS I 165 Ad A: inferentialism is committed to whole sentences, because only between them there are entailments. To explain the inferential role of the whole sentence Brandom must explain how it arises from the inferential roles of the components, and how these components are identified. E.g. distinguishing singular terms and predicates. |

| Davidson, D. | McDowell Vs Davidson, D. | I 42 McDowellVsDavidson: the myth has deeper roots: we can not understand how the pursuit of spontaneity could ever represent a world if spontaneity were not subject to any external control. (And Davidson denies this control.) I 41 McDowellVsDavidson: refutes that thoughts and observations are connected in a rational way. McDowell: but then we do not come to an empirical content. (without concepts, observations are blind (Kant)). I 168 Conviction/McDowellVsDavidson: he could also have said: nothing comes into consideration as a reason for conviction if it is not also located in the realm of reasons, e.g. the fact that it appears as such to a subject (!). Of course it is not the same, whether something seems to me to be this or that, or if I am convinced that it is so. I 172 Davidson: spontaneity not subjected to external rational condition. McDowellVsDavidson: therefore his theory of coherence is without control. I 86 Myth/Davidson: to escape it, one must deny that experience is epistemologically significant. (EvansVs, McDowellVs). I 124 The idea that all things belong to nature does not help. (I 102ff) Spontaneity/Davidson: characterizes what are in fact the operations of the sentient nature, but it does not characteriz them as such. McDowellVsDavidson: dilemma: either: these operations are still rationally related, or we must assume that they have no epistemological significance. Kant considers this choice to be unacceptable. I 216 McDowellVsDavidson: if we turn off the background of tradition (and still only presume radical interpretations), we succumb to the myth of the given. Hegel: "lack of mediation." Objectivity/McDowellVsDavidson: Davidson speaks of "triangulation" (reciprocal corrigibility). McDowell: It's too late to take care of the configuration of the concept of objectivity when the subjects have already entered the stage. Objectivity and subjectivity emenate together from the inauguration in the space of reasons. Rorty VI 205 McDowell/Rorty: Difference betweej "logical space of nature" ("realm of the law") "logical space of reasons". McDowellVsDavidson/McDowellVsSellars/Rorty: too impressed by the realm of law, such that they explain experience in a way that the tribunal of senses is no longer possible. Conviction/justification/cause/Davidson/SellarsRorty: avoiding the confusion of justification and cause leads to the thesis: convictions can only be justified by convictions. (McDowellVsDavidson). VI 206 McDowellVsDavidson/Rorty: if proceding in this manner (to eliminate experience), the old philosophical questions look still as if they were any good. VI 207 There will remain a discomfort. Empiricism will sneak in again through the back door. We still need something that lets us make sense of the world-directedness of empirical thinking. SellarsVsMcDowell/Rorty: human kind has no responsibility towards the world. Rorty VI 213 There will remain a discomfort. Empiricism will sneak in through the back door. We still need something that lets us make sense of the world-directedness of empirical thinking. SellarsVsMcDowell/Rorty: human kind has no responsibility for the world. Rorty VI 213 Def Second Nature/McDowell: people acquire a second nature, e.g. by exploring conceptual skills whose interactions belong to the logical space of reasons. (E.g. initiation, access to the moral community, "Education"). To have one's eyes opened, gives one the ability to be rationally controlled by the world. McDowellVsSellars/McDowellVsDavidson/McDowellVsBrandom: all that becomes incomprehensible if we use the terms of Sellars, Davidson or Brandom. Rorty VI 217 McDowellVsDavidson: a merely causal explanation carries the risk of emptiness. (With Kant: "spontaneity of thought") ("spontaneity: corresponds to rational truths, receptivity: truths of fact). |

| McDowell, J. | Dodd Vs McDowell, J. | Esfeld I 187 Nature/McDowell: is not identified with what is recognized in modern science. Thesis: McDowell advocates a partial "reenchantment" of nature, to capture the aspect of the physical world that makes the physical world not lie outside the conceptual realm. Science itself cannot grasp this aspect. Rather, it is an obstacle to our seeing that the world consists of facts that are the content of our true beliefs. Facts/DoddVsMcDowell: (1995): McDowell confuses a Fregean view of facts as true propositions with a view of facts that make up the world! I 188 Fact/EsfeldVsBrandom: Brandom could also be reproached if he identifies facts with the content of true assertions and continues: "The world is all that is the case, a constellation of facts" (I 476 477).

| Representation | Brandom Vs Representation | I40 VsRepresentations: here the mind is treated as an unexplained explainer. (Descartes). I125 BrandomVsRepresentation: very problematic: if it is understood as a term, it should make the grammatical difference between singular terms and sentences understandable through reference to the ontological difference between objects and facts. But it does not follow that it is possible to introduce the category of facts as what is in the same sense represented by and that-sentences. I 126 an ontological category of facts cannot be made understandable primarily and regardless of explaining the declarative sentences. Representation is not expression! I 132 Rebecca West: VsRepresentation: "Mind as a mirror of nature": we do not need an image of the world, "one copy of these damn things is enough." I 292 Belief: can be ambiguous: one can be convinced of something wrong. The distinction often refers to the objectivity of representations (BrandomVsRepresentationalism, instead social practice as a guarantee of objectivity.) I 404 BrandomVsRepresentationalism: four aspects: 1) in addition to "true", representations need "refers to" and "means". (Later Frege) I 405 2) distinction between intensional and extensional contexts. 3) the "of" in de-re attributions. The concept of intentional relatedness: something is true of Kant, but not of Hegel. 4) concept of objective representational accuracy of judgment and reasoning. Can be justified by direct observation, inferential determinations or reference to certificates. I 412 BrandomVsRepresentation: instead expressive role. I 690 Brandom pro representationalism: contains the indisputable insight: whatever has a propositional content, necessarily has a representational side. The objection only applies to treating the representation as fundamental. II 69 Content/Representation/BrandomVsDescartes: possession of representational content as unexplained explainer. Rorty VI 181 BrandomVsRepresentation/Rorty: instead: "making real inferential connections between claims". If we have succeeded in using a logical and semantic vocabulary, we do not additionally need to explain how they got their "psychic powers". Representation/McDowellVsBrandom: representation cannot be reconstructed from the concept of inference. "Inferentialistic" explanations of the concepts do not work. |

| Various Authors | Brandom Vs Various Authors | I 205 The approach advocated here is critical of three views: Vs 1) that the content is construed exclusively in accordance with the model of the representation of facts. 2) that the quality of the inference solely according to the model of formal validity, 3) that rationality is construed only according to the model of reasoning based on means or purposes. I 338 Brandom: VsReductionism, Brandom pro Relativism I 340 Beliefs: make a difference for what we say and do. They can only be understood in a context of social linguistic practice. First-person reflection is the internalization of third-person reflections. (Vs "privileged access"). I 542 BrandomVsFormalism: of course it is not the case, that something would be propositional in content only by virtue of its relation to accuracies in the inferential practice. Formalistic error: equals all accuracies of inference with logical correctness. I 822 VsTradition: so far, a clear distinction could be made between semantics and pragmatics only by largely overlookeding anaphoric phenomena. I 826 BrandomVsTradition: instead of non-perspective facts one must pay attention only to the structural characteristics of score keeping practices. II 13 VsBrandom: characterized as super-rationalist by others. The meaning of it all stems from the role in language use. |
