I must start this review non-traditionally, with an apology. As the author of the book remarks (p. 120. footnote 47), “Peregrin (2017) ... cites my (2015), but seems to indicate that I reject unrestricted inferentialism, despite the paper actually being an extensive defense of unrestricted inferentialism.” This, unfortunately, is true.

However, what Warren now writes in his book makes me think that we might perhaps call it quits.

Part I of the book has two chapters. In the first, Warren distinguishes his version of conventionalism from some other versions, reaching the twin characterizations:
期刊介绍:
Organon F publishes high-quality articles on the entire range of topics discussed in contemporary analytic philosophy. Accordingly, we invite authors to submit articles that address issues that belong, but are not limited, to philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, epistemology, metaphysics and philosophical logic. We also consider analytically written articles on ethics, aesthetics, social philosophy, political philosophy and history of philosophy. The principal aim is to publish original articles that meet the standards typical of analytic philosophy, primarily those of conceptual clarity, precision and soundness of argumentation.
