Description: "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 life's work."--Jacket.
