Brandom's goal is to present a holistic semantic that according to his Hegel interpretation cannot be based on the construction of a faculty-model. In his first chapter of "A Spirit of Trust" Brandom argues for this position. (Link)
Brandom follows roughly the line of thought that Hegel already had in mind, so he starts out with rejecting the absurdity to split represtings from representing.
However, does this lead to a structuralism, because only the way we represent stands in the middle of our investigation? On the other hand, if the representings are our representing, isn't this a mere materialism?
It seems it is nothing of them, since the representing and the representings have to be projected into one unity. This unity is mysteriously called holism.

Brandom's goal is to distinguish Hegel from the former projects of Kant and Descartes that includes a reformulation of the truth theory of adquacy. He tries to avoid the epic split of object and subject.
How can this be don as a non-psychological project that is not merely an investigation of what we perceive? It mus be based on the concept, the Begriff.
This characterizes Brandom's conceptual realism.
