New EXPRO monograph by prof. Peregrin published by Routledge
Prof. Jaroslav Peregrin from the Department of Philosophy and Social Sciences, Philosophical Faculty UHK has another publication to his credit. His latest book „Normative Species - How Naturalized Inferentialism Explains Us“ was published by the prestigious Routledge publishing house as a part of the Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy edition.
This monograph is about rules, and especially about human capability to create, maintain and follow rules, as a root of what makes us humans different from other animals. The leading idea is that scrutinizing this capability is able to tell us who we humans are and what kinds of lives we live. Normative Species will be of interest mainly to scholar and advanced students focused on philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, social ontology, cultural evolution and cognitive science.
The 240-page text presents the results of the EXPRO research project (GX20-05180X) entitled Inferentialism naturalized: norms, meanings and reasons in the natural world, the beneficiary of which is the Philosophical Faculty, University of Hradec Králové and the main researcher is directly prof. Jaroslav Peregrin.
