Reviews

This book is accessible and clear. It provides a valid discussion of the topic of rule-following practices and normativity, and proposes an interesting and necessary alternative to Kripke's omnipresent skeptical solution. ... the literature on normativity of meaning is immense, and one only can be `glancingly aware of much of that literature.' This is, with no doubt, a must-read monograph. (Juan J. Colomina, Studia Logica, Vol. 107, 2019)
