Inferencialismus a normativita významu

Pořízková, Barbora

Inferentialism is a philosophical theory of language and meaning which inter alia under the influence of the later Wittgenstein's work turns away from the representational theory of meaning and is replaced by a holistic theory, according to which is the meaning of an expression determined by the inferential roles. Such a conception of meaning can be tied with the claim that meaning is normative. The roots of this can be traced back to Wittgenstein's language games and the implicit idea that meaning is determined by rules and attitudes rather than by names and descriptions. This thesis should first shortly introduce the core of the inferentialist doctrine via the works of Wilfrid Sellars and Robert Brandom and then explain the statement about the normativity of meaning on the basis of the authors that defend it as well as those who criticize it and set its own position to this topic.
