摘要

This is a précis of my book Normative species. The point of departure of the book is inferentialism – the doctrine foreshadowed by Sellars and brought to full fruition by Robert Brandom, according to which language, but also other specifically human amenities, presuppose rules or are directly decomposable into various complexes of rules. It seems, indeed, that rules have managed to erect spaces within which we humans assumed our “unnatural” forms of life and which differentiate us so much from other animals. From this viewpoint, rules and complexes of rules start to look as something like the true key to our peculiar nature.
