Wilfrid Sellars ranks as one of the leading critics of empiricism—a philosophical approach to knowledge that seeks to ground it in human sense experience. Robert Brandom clarifies what Sellars had in mind when he talked about moving analytic philosophy from its Humean to its Kantian phase and why such a move might be of crucial importance today.

Habermas é o principal teórico contemporâneo do Geist hegeliano, aquele que melhor soube nos explicar a sua rica estrutura, aquele que encontrou o melhor idioma para tornar explícitos os compromissos que estão implícitos no fato de sermos criaturas discursivas normativas. Mas por que, então, não preferir a versão do próprio Hegel para essas ideias? O artigo aborda algumas respostas possíveis a essa questão.

The philosophical work of Robert B. Brandom is one of the most widely discussed approaches in contemporary American philosophy. In his groundbreaking book Making It Explicit (1994) & recently in his John-Locke-Lectures Between Saying and Doing held at the University of Oxford in 2006, Brandom presents his philosophical project of Analytic Pragmatism. Although Brandom's complex work doesn't contain an explicit political theory, assumptions & expectations regarding the political consequences of Brandom's work have grown, especially since his debate with Jurgen Habermas. In the following interview, Brandom points out for the first time important links between his work & central questions of political theory.
