Abstract
The purpose of this article is to crisscross Rahel Jaeggi’s proposal of an immanent critique of forms of life with Robert Brandom’s inferentialist theory. The process of rationalization of a community of speakers’ cultural and conceptual resources developed by Brandom is useful to understand forms of life as solving instances of second-order problems. To this end, I will explain Jaeggi’s notion of forms of life as solving instances of second-order problems, which I will complement with Brandom’s “expressive freedom”. Secondly, I will develop his inferentialist approach, which I will articulate with second-order problems in relation to the explanation of the inferential relations of concepts within a space of reasons. Finally, I will develop the argument in which the opening of a space of reasons may be understood as the place where one can find the germ of the critique that could lead to social transformation.
