Abstract:
This talk discusses Robert Brandom's attribution of an "inferentialist" view to the early Frege. I hope that as a result of teasing apart those parts of Frege's view that correspond with Brandom's, and those that don't, we can gain a clearer understanding both of Frege's conception of content, and of the ways in which various parts of Brandom's inferentialism hang together.
