Coordinating perspectives in context: Comments on James Swindal's reflection revisited
Philosophy and Social Criticism 29 (2):137-146 (2003)
| Abstract | Swindal seeks to incorporate temporality into the formal-pragmatic analysis of discourse by developing what he calls 'event-determining' reflection. After outlining his motivations for introducing this new form of reflection, I offer a critique, first, of his appeal to meta-discourse about when to engage in discourse and, second, of the function of truth in his account. Finally, I suggest that Swindal's theory of reflective acceptability fruitfully complements Robert Brandom's normative pragmatics. Key Words: discourse • Habermas • justification • reflection • temporality • truth. | |||||||||
