Using Brandom's framework to do Peirce's normative science

pragmatism as the game of Harmonizing assertions?

Mary A. Keeler

pp. 242-260

I introduce Robert Brandom's Inferentialism, which he calls a "rationalist expressivist" form of pragmatism, relating it to C.S. Peirce's unfinished project of Normative Science with its method of pragmatism as the logic of abduction, and suggest how Brandom's notion of a game (which I call Harmonizing Assertions) might serve as an effective methodological instrument in conceptual structures research, for its ultimate challenge of the human-computer tool interface.
