Meaning as Use in Ludwig Wittgenstein and Robert Brandom

By: Nwokocha, Princewill Uche

This work centers on the philosophical concept of meaning as use. It first posits the question about what linguistic meaning entails and how meaning of our expressions be articulated or arrived at. It dwells critically on Wittgenstein's and Brandom's contributions to semantic and a foundational theory. Meaning in most recent times becomes crucial to the inquiry into the fundamental properties of human language and its application to concrete practical situations and examinations. What is then quite significant in their contributions is the subtle pragmatic descriptions and articulations they proffer to advancing the systematic understanding of the notion of meaning as use which play an indispensable role in grasping philosophical concepts and postulations in relation to our human, social and communal activities and performances.
