'Yo!' and 'Lo!'
'Yo!' and 'Lo!': the pragmatic topography of the space of reasons
Rebecca Kukla, Mark Lance,
Publisher: Cambridge, Mass. : Harvard University Press, c2009.
ISBN: 0674031474   DDC: 410   Edition: (alk. paper)

Summary:

"Entering into conversation with the work of Anglo-American
philosophers such as Wilfrid Sellars, Robert Brandom, and John
McDowell, and Continental philosophers including Heidegger and
Althusser, 'Yo!' and 'Lo!' offers solutions (or dissolutions) to
long-standing philosophical problems, such as how perception can be
both inferentially fecund and responsive to an empirical world, and
how moral judgment can be both objective and inherently
motivating."--BOOK JACKET.
