KANT and PRE-KANTIAN THEMES: Lectures by Wilfrid Sellars

KANT and PRE-KANTIAN THEMES: Lectures by Wilfrid Sellars.

The key distinction lies between metaphysics and Metaphysics. The former provisionally models the relations between different vocabularies; the latter continues theology by other means. Sellars shows how to do metaphysics without Metaphysics. This approach complements Rorty's prioritization of cultural politics over ontology and his vision of Enlightenment liberalism without Enlightenment rationalism. 20th Century American Pragmatism, Misc in Philosophy of the Americas. Donald Davidson in 20th Century Philosophy. Richard Rorty in 20th Century Philosophy.

Arrived very quickly! Completely satisfied!

Wilfrid Sellars was the rock star of postwar analytic philosophy: with his lectures "Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind" he took aim at nearly every proviso of philosophical analysis as it was originally practiced (and as collected in the anthology he edited with Herbert Feigl, *Readings in Philosophical Analysis*). He is viewed as somewhat more respectable kin to Derrida, a wild de-centerer of philosophical dogma. Yet very few ever get around to considering *Science and Metaphysics*, his John Locke Lectures published in 1968, in which he attempts to tie all of his various doctrinal innovations together in a satisfying whole.

This may be because *Science and Metaphysics* is quite a rebarbative piece of writing: Sellars' views are not exactly 'too technical' for the common run of philosophical intellects -- like, say, Kripke's "Outline of a Theory of Truth" -- but he certainly lacked much of a gift for exposition. Still, if you have seen the essays recently collected in the Harvard book *In the Space of Reasons*, or got knocked out by "EPM" at some point, you definitely will want to see Sellars' extensions of his views here. You might deduce from Richard Rorty's appreciation of Sellars that Sellars looked askance at scientific realism, but this would be very far from the truth: Sellars' famous dichotomy between the "manifest image" and "scientific image" of humanity was definitely intended to favor the latter -- here he develops a picture of an ideal framework of scientific inquiry, "Conceptual System Peirce", and draws conclusions for our present-day concerns with truth and the "in-itself".

Sellars' supposedly perspicuous "dot-quote" notation, part of the parcel of views that would later be called Conceptual Role Semantics, is explained in much greater detail here than in the papers that use it. Furthermore, though he is generally viewed as being of a piece with the later Wittgenstein, Sellars goes back to the *Tractatus* for a notion of "picturing" which is supposed to ground genuine perceptual purport for thoughts (John McDowell is one of the few Sellarsians to have taken this book particularly seriously, as he takes time in his Woodbridge lectures to compare and contrast his views with Sellars' theses here). This is hard going, but eventually worthwhile.
