The Ethics of Wilfrid Sellars: Routledge Studies in American Philosophy

Autor Jeremy Randel Koons
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2021
Wilfrid Sellars’s ethical theory was rich and deeply innovative. On Sellars’s view, moral judgments express a special kind of shared intention. Thus, we should see Sellars as an early advocate of an expressivism of plans and intentions, and an early theorist of collective intentionality. He supplemented this theory with a sophisticated logic of intentions, a robust theory of the categorical validity of normative expressions, a subtle way of reconciling the cognitive and motivating aspects of moral judgment, and much more—all within a strict nominalism that preserves Sellars’s commitment to naturalism. The Ethics of Wilfrid Sellars offers the first systematic treatment of this sadly-neglected aspect of Sellars’s work, and demonstrates that his ethical theory—just like his more widely-discussed epistemology—has much to contribute to current debates.

Recenzii

"With his feisty, comprehensive, in-depth treatment of Sellars’ ethics, Koons has now single-handedly re-introduced Sellars’ ethics as something Sellars scholars can no longer ignore. Koons’ book is to be celebrated as an important contribution to Sellars scholarship, and as a spirited, courageous effort to demonstrate the continuing importance of Sellars’ ethics in the contemporary philosophical landscape. I hope that this book will be widely read and discussed, and that it may kindle wide-spread serious engagement with Sellars’ practical philosophy, not only among Sellars scholars but also among scholars working in contemporary ethics and on theories of practical reasoning, agency, and collective intentionality."Ronald Loeffler in the International Journal of Philosophical Studies
"Koons's work sets a new standard for work on Sellars by showing how to be deeply engaged with the details of his work, willing to correct him when necessary, and also addressing live current issues in contemporary philosophy."Carl B. Sachs in Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

Descriere

Within Sellars’s ethical theory lie answers to a number of pressing questions. In resolving questions, and combining Sellars’s work with the latest work, this book presents a strikingly original and comprehensive theory that has much to contribute to contemporary debates in ethics and metaethics.
