Contemporary interest in realism and naturalism, emerging under
the banner of speculative or new realism, has prompted
continentally-trained philosophers to consider a number of texts
from the canon of analytic philosophy. The philosophy of Wilfrid
Sellars, in particular, has proven remarkably able to offer a
contemporary re-formulation of traditional "continental" concerns
that is amenable to realist and rationalist considerations, and
serves as an accessible entry point into the Anglo-American
tradition for continental philosophers. With the aim of
appraising this fertile theoretical convergence, this volume
brings together experts of both analytic and continental
philosophy to discuss the legacy of Kantianism in contemporary
philosophy. The individual essays explore the ways in which
Sellars can be put into dialogue with the widely influential work
of Quentin Meillassoux, explaining how―even thought their
methods, language, and proximal influences are widely
different―their philosophical stances can be compared thanks to
their shared Kantian heritage and interest in the problem of
realism. This book will be appeal to students and scholars who
are interested in Sellars, Meillassoux, contemporary realist
movements in continental philosophy, and the analytic-continental
debate in contemporary philosophy.
