What would something unlike us--a chimpanzee, say, or a computer--have to be able to do to qualify as a possible knower, like us? To answer this question at the very heart of our sense of ourselves, philosophers have long focused on intentionality and have looked to language as a key to this condition. Making It Explicit is an investigation into the nature of language--the social practices that distinguish us as rational, logical creatures--that revises the very terms of this inquiry. Where accounts of the relation between language and mind have traditionally rested on the concept of representation, this book sets out an alternate approach based on inference, and on a conception of certain kinds of implicit assessment that become explicit in language. Making It Explicit is the first attempt to work out in detail a theory that renders linguistic meaning in terms of use--in short, to explain how semantic content can be conferred on expressions and attitudes that are suitably caught up in social practices. </p>
At the center of this enterprise is a notion of discursive commitment. Being able to talk--and so in the fullest sense being able to think--is a matter of mastering the practices that govern such commitments, being able to keep track of one's own commitments and those of others. Assessing the pragmatic significance of speech acts is a matter of explaining the explicit in terms of the implicit. As he traces the inferential structure of the social practices within which things can be made conceptually explicit, the author defines the distinctively expressive role of logical vocabulary. This expressive account of language, mind, and logic is, finally, an account of who we are. </p>

the intentional challenge是每一個semanticist在有瞭一些extensional的經驗之後都想擔起的。布蘭頓綜閤瞭康德實踐哲學、弗雷格規範性理論和日常語言學派的語用理論提齣瞭一種奠基於社會交往的言語行為的規範性語義學。他的一篇短論文還試圖闡明這本書中同樣涉及的一個關於意嚮性的理論:意嚮性應該奠基於意嚮歸屬的言語行為,而不是心理狀態的形而上學地位。簡而言之,我之族類就是能遵守規則以言行事。因為論證太繁復而且很成係統,沒時間堅持讀下去。以後有空可以進一步瞭解。
