Wilfrid Sellars and Twentieth-Century Philosophy Summary

Wilfrid Sellars and Twentieth-Century Philosophy by Stefan Brandt

This collection features eleven original essays, divided into three thematic sections, which explore the work of Wilfrid Sellars in relation to other twentieth-century thinkers. Section I analyzes Sellarss thought in light of some of his influential predecessors, specifically Ludwig Wittgenstein, Rudolf Carnap, John Cook Wilson, and Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz. The second group of essays explores from different perspectives Sellarss place within the analytic tradition, including his relation with analytic Kantianism and analytic pragmatism. The books final section extracts some of the most significant lessons Sellarss work has to offer for contemporary philosophy. These chapters address his views on inference, his views on truth and its connection to recent discussions about truth-relativism and truth-pluralism, his conception of self-knowledge, and his theory of perceptual experience.

Wilfrid Sellars and Twentieth-Century Philosophy Reviews

"In sum, Brandt and Breunig have succeeded in putting together a variegated and solid collection, which constitutes a useful addition to our ongoing scholarly engagement with Sellars. The volume makes an important contribution to the project of obtaining a synoptic view of his thought, both from a historical and philosophical point of view, and will certainly encourage further research in the field."

Luca Corti, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
