Interpreting Sellars

Bol

Wilfrid Sellars (1912–1989) was a ground-breaking figure in twentieth-century philosophy. He co-founded the first American journal devoted to analytic philosophy, and he made major contributions to several areas of philosophy, but his work has been under-explored. This wide-ranging volume of new essays conveys the importance of Sellars's contributions to philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, ethical theory, and the history of philosophy. The essays explore such topics as Sellars's relation to Kant and Hegel, comparisons of Sellars with Continental philosophers such as Heidegger and Deleuze, new work on Sellars's philosophy of mind in relation to animal cognition and to AI, his contributions to ethical theory, and his place in the history of philosophy, including neo-Kantianism and American pragmatism.
