How is Objectivity Possible in the Space of Reasons?——Brandom on Objectivity of Conceptual Norms
How does conceptual content refer to the world?How is the objectivity of conceptual content guaranteed?Since the second half of the 20th century,the neo-pragmatists represented by Rorty have criticized and dispelled the traditional view of truth and the concept of objectivity from different dimensions.In the view of neo-pragma-tists,the conceptual content that constitutes a thought or judgment is not given directly through the correspondence between the word and the world but through the role it plays in the judgment,and the judgment itself has a func-tional role in the cognitive system of the subject.According to this understanding,the relationship between the con-tents expressed by these concepts and the objects they refer to constitutes an open question.This article exposits Brandom's view about the objectivity of conceptual norms,analyzes the accusations and dilemmas faced by Bran-dom's objectivity proof of conceptual norms as well as Brandom's responses to these critiques,and finally points out how objectivity is possible in the space of reasons under the perspective of philosophy of normativity.
