Produktinformationen zu „Wilfrid Sellars (PDF)“
The work of the American philosopher Wilfrid Sellars continues to
have a significant impact on the contemporary philosophical scene.
His writings have influenced major thinkers such as Rorty,
McDowell, Brandom, and Dennett, and many of Sellars basic
conceptions, such as the logical space of reasons, the myth of the
given, and the manifest and scientific images, have become standard
philosophical terms. Often, however, recent uses of these terms do
not reflect the richness or the true sense of Sellars original
ideas. This book gets to the heart of Sellars philosophy and
provides students with a comprehensive critical introduction to his
lifes work.
The book is structured around what Sellars himself regarded as
the philosophers overarching task: to achieve a coherent vision of
reality that will finally overcome the continuing clashes between
the world as common sense takes it to be and the world as science
reveals it to be. It provides a clear analysis of Sellars
groundbreaking philosophy of mind, his novel theory of
consciousness, his defense of scientific realism, and his
thoroughgoing naturalism with a normative turn. Providing a lively
examination of Sellars work through the central problem of what it
means to be a human being in a scientific world, this book will be
a valuable resource for all students of philosophy.
