Rezensionen

"In this very informative volume, Peter Olen addresses questions that are of interest both to philosophers generally and to students of Sellars's thought in particular. ... Given the significance of these questions and the prominence of Sellars as one of the leading Anglo-American philosophers of the twentieth century, Olen's book is a welcome contribution. ... readers will gain much from Olen's contribution to understanding Sellars's views on questions central to the philosopher's agenda." (William A. Rottschaefer, Journal of the History of Philosophy, Vol. 55 (4), October, 2017)
