Ethics, Practical Reasoning, Agency Summary

Ethics, Practical Reasoning, Agency: Wilfrid Sellarss Practical Philosophy by Jeremy Randel Koons

This is the first volume devoted exclusively to the practical philosophy of Wilfrid Sellars. It features original essays by leading Sellars scholars that examine his ethical theory, his theory of practical reasoning, and his theory of intentional agency.

While most scholarship on Sellarss philosophy has focused on his epistemology, metaphysics, or philosophy of language and mind, Sellars himself regarded his practical philosophy as central to his overall project of situating rational beings within the natural order. The chapters in this volume address this neglected area of Sellarss philosophy. The chapters are divided into thematic sections covering Sellarss theory of we-intentions influential in contemporary debates on collective intentionality naturalism and the manifest image, and the moral point of view. Together, they demonstrate how Sellarss practical philosophy contributes to important debates in contemporary philosophy regarding, for example, expressivist approaches to moral thought and group agency in the collective intentionality literature.

Ethics, Practical Reasoning, Agency: Wilfrid Sellarss Practical Philosophy will appeal to scholars and advanced students interested in Wilfrid Sellars, American philosophy, and ethics.

Ethics, Practical Reasoning, Agency Reviews

"This is an exciting new volume on Wilfrid Sellarss practical philosophy. Koons and Loeffler have done an excellent job assembling a prominent group of scholars to shed light on this under-discussed area of Sellarss philosophy. Anyone interested in Sellars, ethics, or practical reasoning will be well-served by exploring this volume."
