    Also: this guy is the goat. He just sits there and calmly and collectedly lays out complex narratives. Its not easy to follow and even if you somewhat understand you are still obligated to read the actual philosophy and study properly. But you always know that boss brandom is chilling right here on CZcams for you to come back to and compare your insights to this publicly accessible embodiment of the modern state of philosophy without any bullshit getting in your way. CZcams be trippin over some andrew tate or whatever shit and im here bing chilling with the Dom

    Robert Brandom synthesizes contemporary analytical, pragmatic and continental traditions, and also the history of modern philosophy. In the land of Giants such as Davidson he is surely the best Intelectual Heir and Champion Philosophy could ever aspire. His teachings should shape and structure all intelectual fields inluding cognitive science, strategy, science studies, sociology, computer science, logic and much more. For my humble and secret desire was just to know how he sees the field of inquiry of a man like EJ Lowe. God Bless Prof. Brandom.

    1:11 In German, “Natural science” is referred to as “Naturwissenschaften,” and “Humanities” are referred to as “Geisteswissenschaften” or simply “Geisteswissenschaft” in singular form.

    Bob likes to talk about heroes. Well, he is one of my heroes. Like David Harvey, Chomsky, and Michael Hudson, Bob weaves a remarkable intellectual history that breathes new life into his field. 🙌

    I hope Dr. Brandom knows what an (online) legend he is.

    Bob, Nice to meet you! I am Trueho Draw, just attended your online lecture of the same theme host by Beijing Normal University; And here is my question:
    "Can Socrates and Wittgenstein also be considered pragmatists in the sense of giving and asking for reasons? If so, then Socrates' pursuit of concepts and normative issues, and the practice of a dialogue-based activity, can be considered a form of semantics? The series of dialogues Socrates engaged in, such as 'what is justice?' or 'what is love?', which ultimately were deemed unknowable, does this imply that the exploration of semantics is not necessary for human practice? If this is the case, then in Wittgenstein's exploration of the 'downtown in language', where late Wittgenstein emphasizes 'Don't think, but look!', observing language games and the use of language within linguistic communities, intentionality and rule-following; does this also mean that semantic inquiry must be clarified through the observation of language practices?"
    Looking forward for your answers! It's important for me . 😀

    I owe it to you, Bob, for getting me interested in normativity like never before.

    Literally the distinction in the first sentence is what is responsible for all the cliches and misconceptions about philosophy from „uninitiated“ people

    I like your approach of explaining philosophy through the difference with science.

    There are particular conventions about how we talk about philosophy that are both illustrated and put in question in this presentation.

    What about seeing and doing based on physical things (body) and intepretation (brain) / these things are different. But need we trust the body or the brain? Great work of thinking a thanks for sharing. I'am sure wrong and open for input. As my great movie 'short circuts' always says. Need more input :)

    I suppose that this i intelligible to PhD students in analytic philosophy, at least a few of them..... denizens of the realm of nature don't judge and act? Those poor denizens... They get no respect
