T1 - Tradition and conceptual dynamics according to an inferentialist theory of meaning
AU - Furstenberg, Ariel
N1 - Funding Information: Abstract. In this article I develop a conceptual dynamical account from an inferentialist theory of meaning and content; thus illuminating the connection between conceptual dynamics and tradition. The inferentialist theory taken into account here is that of Robert Brandom. While expanding on Brandom’s notion of scorekeeping, I claim that insufficiency, and sometimes even inability, to differentiate and navigate between past heritage and present discourse is of the essence of highly traditional discourses; creating a unique type of conceptual dynamics which is commonplace mainly within religious traditional discourses. This claim is supported by a case study from a Jewish traditional discourse. Publisher Copyright: © 2016, European Journal for Philosophy of Religion.
