Robert Brandom is one of the most renowned philosophers in the analytic tradition today. This volume contains his programmatic essay 'Towards an Analytic Pragmatism', in which Brandom shows how analytic philosophy can broaden ist perspective so as to incorporate important insights of pragmatism.
In addition, this volume contains nine papers dealing critically with themes from Brandom’s writings, ranging from his 1994 book Making it Explicit to Between Saying and Doing, last year’s Locke Lectures. Finally, there are replies by Robert Brandom to these papers. The annual Münster Lectures in Philosophy, which started in 1997, have evolved as a highly renowned get-together of philosophers. The invited guest for the respective lecture gives a public talk and participates in a one- to two-day-colloquium with members of the Philosophical Seminar (staff and students) of the University of Münster. Lectures, contributions of participants and replies of the guest philosophers are published in this series.
