Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses the concept of rationality as developed in the philosophical considerations of Robert Brandom. It is the analysis of Brandom’s pragmatically-oriented discourse concerning the issue of rationality from the perspective of human being’s linguistic practices, where only upon meeting the other members of specific linguistic community the aspects of human nature we may characterise by the term rationality are manifested. The central part of this paper treats Brandom’s normative idiom that he postulates as explanatorily most suitable for understanding the linguistic practices and the idea of rationality based upon them.
