To me, Addams' philosophy of education is both inspiring and intimidating. A vision to strive for! Sending energy and all good wishes to all teachers this year.

To say that philosophy’s task is to make human practices explicit rather than to legitimize them by reference to something beyond them is to say that there is no authority beyond utility for these purposes to which we can appeal.

Brandom puts this point by saying that philosophy’s job is to make our practices, linguistic and other, explicit, rather than to judge these practices in the light of norms which lie outside them. He takes Wittgenstein’s infinite-regress argument against the possibility of appealing to such outside norms as fundamental to his metaphilosophical position. “Pragmatic theories of norms are distinguished from platonist theories, in treating as fundamental norms implicit in practices rather than norms explicit in principles.” There is no way for human beings to get beyond their own practices except by dreaming up better practices, and no way to judge these new practices better except by reference to their various advantages for various human purposes.

There is no authority outside of convenience for human purposes which can be appealed to in order to legitimize the use of a vocabulary. We have no duties to anything non-human.

@rortyquotes.bsky.socialSep 3, 2026, 2:02 PM

Philosophy can only answer the question: Can we perspicuously relate the various vocabularies we use to one another, and thereby dissolve the philosophical problems which seem to arise at the places where we switch over from one vocabulary into another?
