Reading Kant with Sellars
This book considers Wilfrid Sellarsâ engagement with Kantian philosophyâboth theoretical and practicalâin his exegetical work in reading Kant as well as in his own systematic development of Kantian philosophy.
Despite the spate of new publications on Wilfrid Sellarsâ role in 20th-century philosophy, a comprehensive book-length examination of his interpretation of Kant has been conspicuously absent. This volume fills that gap both exegetically and systematically, exploring his engagement in four distinct sections: (1) Logic and History; (2) Sensations and Intuitions; (3) Being and Categories; and (4) Reason, Modality, and Freedom. The chapters within these sections, written by leading experts, explore Sellarsâ reading of Kant and offer both defenses and critiques. Readers will find in this collection not only a thorough exploration of Sellarsâ engagement with Kant, but also a rich dialogue between Kant scholars and specialists in Sellarsâ philosophy.
Reading Kant with Sellars is essential reading for Kant and Sellars scholars, offering them deeper insights into their respective fields by highlighting the importance of Kant for Sellars and the relevance of Sellarsâ reading of Kant for Kant scholarship. It will also appeal to scholars and advanced students in philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, epistemology, moral and practical philosophy, and logic.
