inferentialism
Definition
- This entry delineates the core elements of inferentialism. Recent inferentialist accounts of language and thought emphasize the importance of social practices of language users in terms of giving and asking for reasons, the essential normativity involved in inferences, the presence of commitments in all such activities, and the indispensability of others and of intersubjective ascriptions of entitlements in making inferences or ascribing them.
