Brandom’s main claim is that the representational dimension of language, including intentional directedness, emerges and also reflects the social dimension of language. Brandom argues that his analysis of the expressive function of “about” in de re ascriptions confirms his main claim. Deflationary interpretation of Brandom’s analysis denies that “about” ascribes a property to mental states. In the present article, first, by explaining Brandom’s inferentialist analysis of singular terms and notion of object, we show how objects via inferential triangulation can be given to us. Then, we elucidate the connection between Brandom’s analysis of objectivity and his analysis of intentional directedness as the reflection of social dimension. Relying on this elucidation, we explain Brandom’s claim that “about” plays a role similar to Kant’s categories . Brandom’s view on intentional directedness is a radical switch of view which challenges the whole tradition of philosophical theory seeking to explain intentionality as a property of mental states.
