Wilfrid Sellars, Idealism, and Realism is the first study of its kind to address a range of realist and idealist views inspired by psychological nominalism. Bringing together premier analytic realists and distinguished defenders of German idealism, it reveals why psychological nominalism is one of the most important theories of the mind to come out the 20th century.
The theory, first put forward by Wilfrid Sellars, argues that language is the only means by which humans can learn the types of socially shared practices that permit rationality. Although wedded to important aspects of German idealism, Sellars' theory is couched in bold realist terms of the analytic tradition. Those who are sympathetic to German idealism find this realist's appropriation of German idealism problematic. Wilfrid Sellars, Idealism and Realism thus creates a rare venue for realists and idealists to debate the epistemic outcome of the mental processes they both claim are essential to experience. Their resulting discussion bridges the gap between analytic and continental philosophy.
In providing original and accessible chapters on psychological nominalism, this volume raises themes that intersect with numerous disciplines: the philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, epistemology, and metaphysics. It also provides clarity on arguably the best available account of why humans can reason, be self-aware, know, and act as agents.

Описание: Wilfrid Sellars ranks as one of the leading critics of empiricism-a philosophical approach to knowledge that seeks to ground it in human sense experience. Robert Brandom clarifies what Sellars had in mind when he talked about moving analytic philosophy from its Humean to its Kantian phase and why such a move might be of crucial importance today.

Описание: The Beach Boys are one of rock's most enduring and enigmatic groups, and while the band has been the subject of numerous biographies and other in-depth studies, there has been no focused evaluation of the religious and spiritual themes in their work. Spiritual and theological themes are present in much of their work, and when this realization is coupled with Brian Wilson's mission ""to spread the gospel of love through records,"" and his sense of music as spiritual--of thinking ""pop music is going to be spiritual . . . that's the direction I want to go""--this is a striking way to explore the band's music. In God Only Knows, the contributors attempt to come to grips with just a small amount of this band's massive output--by circling around its theological virtues. Each section of the book is a loose investigation of the guiding topics of faith, hope, and love. Each essay is a free exploration of theological and spiritual themes from the contributor's own perspectives. ""In the emerging era of popular music as a shaping cultural force, there were a few artists whose work not only profoundly impacted their peers but who continue to influence today. Among those artists were The Beach Boys, one of California's most unique contributions to the pop music canon, a band whose music exported not only American pop to the world, but also Cali surf culture, sunshine, and a commitment to spread love through music. Much has been written about The Beach Boys over the years and their work has been scrutinized from virtually every angle. What's unique about this volume is that it seeks to explore a singular and key element of The Beach Boys' music, namely, the spiritual component that funded their creativity. The Beach Boys rose to fame in the wake of the 'death of God, ' but their music, like many of their era, was fueled by a hunger to seek out the spiritual in new and expanding ways. God Only Knows is a volume of essays that unearths some of those spiritual and theological threads and along the way invites the reader to a deeper appreciation of pop music's power and some fresh perspectives on one of popular music's most important and influential bands."" --Barry Taylor, teacher, writer, music lover ""This is one fine book. It investigates an unexamined aspect of The Beach Boys ... at long last. Brian Wilson had a hidden agenda. I think Brian would be proud of this work. Jon Foreman of Switchfoot fame would be proud too After all, he covers the song 'God Only Knows.' And that thought is, indeed, true "" --David Naugle, Distinguished University Professor, Dallas Baptist University ""Who knew there could exist a beautiful, serious, playful book on The Beach Boys that pointed to the Kingdom of God and the gospel of love? I thank my teenage aunt for introducing this magical group to me. And now, grateful again to have all these robust thinkers paying homage and plumbing the depths of this hallowed group from my native California. I'm swimming in delight."" --Charlie Peacock, Producer Jeff Sellars teaches philosophy, humanities, and religious studies in Northern California and Southern Oregon.
