Statement

Brandom locates the distinction between claims that are objectively correct and claims merely taken to be correct as a structural feature of each scorekeeping perspective, rejecting objectivity as intersubjective agreement.

Source

projects/normativity/legitimacy/rounds/2026-08-13-relational-scorekeeping-bridge/BRANDOM_MAP.md, section 7, "Objectivity is a structural feature of every perspective, not a privileged one" (Making It Explicit, chapter 8, section VI.3, pages 593 to 597, quoted there): objectivity as intersubjectivity is rejected, and the distinction between correct claims and claims taken to be correct "is a structural feature of each scorekeeping" perspective.

Notes

Cited source content, verified by page in the public source map. Its bearing, the filing session's reading: it is an anti-subjectivist account of correctness, which a legitimacy notion that distinguishes being right from being taken to be right needs.
