Wilfrid Sellars made profound and lasting contributions to nearly
every area of philosophy. The aim of this collection is to
highlight the continuing importance of Sellars’ work to
contemporary debates. The contributors include several luminaries
in Sellars scholarship, as well as members of the new generation
whose work demonstrates the lasting power of Sellars’ ideas.
Papers by O’Shea and Koons develop Sellars’ underexplored views
concerning ethics, practical reasoning, and free will, with an
emphasis on his longstanding engagement with Kant. Sachs, Hicks
and Pereplyotchik relate Sellars’ views of mental phenomena to
current topics in cognitive science and philosophy of mind. Fink,
deVries, Price, Macbeth, Christias, and Brandom grapple with
traditional Sellarsian themes, including meaning, truth,
existence, and objectivity. Brandhoff provides an original
account of the evolution of Sellars’ philosophy of language and
his project of "pure pragmatics". The volume concludes with an
author-meets-critics section centered around Robert Brandom’s
recent book,
