Dear all, The Pragmatism Reading Group will be running online, on Mondays at 11.00am, this term. We will be using Zoom and will send a link out to those interested in attending. The focus in Michaelmas Term will be on Wilfrid Sellars and Robert Brandom, exploring their functionalist and inferentialist views of language.
For Monday, 12 October, we will read Sellars, 'Some Reflections on Language Games'<https://www.jstor.org/stable/185277?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contents>. The paper can be accessed through the link or as a PDF attached to this email.
