ABSTRACT

I agree profoundly with the Wittgensteinian thrust of Robert Brandom’s exciting work.1 We can see this as a multi-dimensional holism. Like Wittgenstein, and others who ultimately relate back to Kant, such as Hegel, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty, he offers a devastating critique of the atomism which is implicit in the mainstream post-Cartesian epistemology.
