Robert Brandoms rationalist philosophy of language, expounded in his highly influential Making It Explicit, has been the subject of intense scrutiny and debate, establishing him as one of the leading philosophers of his generation. In A Spirit of Trust, Brandom presents the fruits of his thirty-year engagement with Hegel.
He submits that the Phenomenology of Spirit holds not only many lessons for todays philosophy of language, but also a moral lesson much needed in todays increasingly polarized societies, in the form of a postmodern ethics of trust.
In this outstanding collection, leading philosophers examine and assess A Spirit of Trust.
The twelve specially commissioned chapters explore topics including:
- negation and truth
- empirical and speculative concepts
- experience
- conflict and recognition
- varieties of idealism
- premodern ethical life and modern alienation
- a postmodern ethics of trust.
Reading Brandom: On
A Spirit of Trust is
essential reading for all students and scholars of Brandom''s work and those in philosophy of language.
It will also be important reading for those studying nineteenth-century philosophy, particularly Hegel and the
Phenomenology of Spirit.
