| Abstract | |
Robert Brandom develops a rationalism that considers rational beings as concept users and sensitive to the \"force\" of reasons. This idea is explored from a central notion of Wilfrid Sellars\'s philosophical work, the \"logical space of reasons\". This space is a conceptual, linguistic and normative structure by which rational beings can apply concepts, giving reasons and justifying them. However, the main feature of logical space is the inferential articulation, i.e., applying concepts, give reasons and justify them are activities that can be performed only in inferential context. This research aims to discuss and analyze this conception of rationality emphasizing the centrality of the concept of \"inference\". (AU) | |
