Reviews

""Bringing together fourteen new essays on an impressively wide range of Sellarsian themes in relation to their Kantian antecedents, this collection promises important new insights into the underlying dynamic of Sellars’ philosophy and its enduring significance for us today."" Danielle Macbeth, Haverford College, USA ""Though Sellars often affirmed his debt to Kant, there has been very little work to date which explicates the exact nature of this debt. Kant scholars largely either ignore Sellars or acknowledge him only in passing, and Sellars scholars usually do not know enough about Kant in sufficient detail to thoroughly evaluate Sellars’s debt to Kant. This collection promises to help remedy both lacunae, improving our understanding of both Kant and Sellars."" Carl B. Sachs, Marymount University, USA ""Among analytic philosophers, Wilfrid Sellars' career-long engagement with Kant's theoretical philosophy is paralleled in importance only with John Rawls's engagement with Kant's moral philosophy. As did Rawls, Sellars offered a distinctive interpretation of Kant's main ideas and also developed some of Kant's ideas in his own philosophy. This collection of essays by leading scholars of both Sellars and Kant breaks new ground in the interpretation of Sellars' reading of Kant and of Sellars' own philosophy."" Paul Guyer, Brown University, USA ""Ranaee and Seiberth bring together diverse scholarly viewpoints to navigate the complex dialogue between Kant and Sellars, addressing both historical context and contemporary relevance. This excellent collection of essays provides deep insights into the enduring influence of Kant on Sellars’ thought and the broader philosophical discourse. It will be essential reading for scholars and students of either of these great thinkers."" Andrew Stephenson, University of Southampton, UK ""In this ambitious and timely collection of essays, Mahdi Ranaee and Luz Christopher Seiberth unite fourteen impressive contributions on Kant and Sellars, which range from logic and metaphysics to the philosophy of mind and ethical theory. The authors make an excellent job of straddling the divide between analytic philosophy and serious historical scholarship. Highly recommended."" Jens Timmerman, University of St Andrews, UK ""There is an important minority approach to Kant and German Idealism - often associated with Pittsburgh, Postdam, and Leipzig -- that takes the work of Wilfrid Sellars as a touchstone. It is hard to find a clear synopsis of the Sellarsian approach, however (even in Sellars's own work!). This volume fills a key gap by bringing together a series of papers by leading scholars of Kant who also clearly understand Sellars. Highly recommended!"" Andrew Chignell, Princeton University, USA
