Copernicus Center Presshas just published Bartosz
Brożek,Rule-Following: From Imitation to
the Normative Mind:
The book attempts to decipher the practice of rule-following with the use of
the tools offered both by contemporary philosophy and neuroscience. The Author
claims – in the Wittgensteinian spirit – that rule-following cannot be thought
of in terms of individual mental states only: in order to explain what rules
are, one needs to consider rule-following to be a communal practice. This stance
is backed by some evolutionary scenarios and neuroscientific theories. The
monograph culminates in an explication of rule-following in language, morality
and mathematics.
