Jeremy Wanderer offers students a clear introduction to the philosophy of Robert Brandom, in particular his monumental work Making It Explicit, one of the most significant and daunting philosophical works of recent years. The book provides a clear sense of Brandom's project, motivates a close reading of the core text, and offers a context for an initial assessment and critique of Brandom's thinking. It highlights some of the philosophical problems that Brandom seeks to solve and explores the wider implications of his account. The first book to place Brandom's work squarely within contemporary Anglo-American philosophy and the broader history of philosophy, it will be a valuable resource for advanced students and philosophers tackling this challenging body of work. Series editor: John Shand John Shand is an associate lecturer in philosophy at the Open University. He is the author of Philosophy and Philosophers: An Introduction to Western Philosophy, and Arguing Well. This is a fresh and vital series of new introductions to today's most read, discussed and important philosophers. Combining rigorous analysis with authoritative exposition, each book gives a clear, comprehensive and enthralling access to the ideas of those philosophers who have made a truly fundamental and original contribution to the subject. Together the volumes comprise a remarkable gallery of the thinkers who have been at the forefront of philosophical ideas. The series is aimed primarily at upper-level undergraduate and beginning postgraduate students and, therefore, expects a reasonable level of familiarity with philosophical argument from its readership. Although central to the project is the clear presentation of the philosopher's ideas these books are also opportunities for authors to make a striking and fresh contribution to the subject while also laying a foundation for student understanding.
