Description of  Reading Kant with Sellars: Reconceiving Kantian Themes (Routledge Studies in American Philosophy)

1032373970 epub This book considers Wilfrid Sellars engagement with Kantian philosophyboth theoretical and practicalin 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 Sellars 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 Sellars reading of Kant and offer both defenses and critiques. Readers will find in this collection not only a thorough exploration of Sellars engagement with Kant, but also a rich dialogue between Kant scholars and specialists in Sellars philosophy. Read more
