I love this too. I have been challenging myself with language, and Brandom is the best with this study. My biggest hurdle is this: if reading is not a generally social act, and the study of the features of language is like reading language itself, then is learning about language not a social practice? Harold Bloom said something which stuck with me that there is no ethics to reading. So if ethics is social, and reading is not ethical, reading itself is not social, even if that reading is over the literature of a study of the features of language. This is my dilemma which I hope Brandon can help me sort out. Thank you for this helpful talk!

Maybe there is no ethics to reading because reading is an act of Genius, and, as Kant says, Genius is unteachable, so therefore reading is incompatible with rules and principles for living wisely, being that rules can be copied.
