Ronald Loeffler is Associate Professor in Philosophy at Grand Valley State University.

"Ronald Loeffler's outstanding introduction to Robert Brandom's thought covers all the bases: from situating the newcomer in Brandom's grounding appropriations of Kant and Hegel, through crystal clear explanations of the more technical but essential inferentialist semantics, to more critical reflections on how it all hangs together as a groundbreaking outlook on our rational nature. Highly recommended at all levels."—James R. O'Shea, University College Dublin"Loeffler's new introduction to Brandom's work provides a very valuable guide to many of Brandom's key ideas and relations among those ideas. It will be especially helpful to the beginning student, but useful also for more advanced readers looking for a synoptic view of Brandom's corpus."—Danielle Macbeth, Haverford College
