"This is the first book to bring Sellars and Husserlian phenomenology into dialogue, exploring the many lines of intersection between them, in an impressively wide range of issues. By highlighting the complexity and richness of the relations between Sellars's thought and phenomenology, the book persuasively shows how an encounter between them can be beneficial to both parties and a source of novel philosophical insight." "Wilfrid Sellars and Phenomenology … explores what Sellars does with phenomenology and how better attention to phenomenology throws much light on Sellars. In the twenty-first century the gap between analytic and Continental philosophy has been slowly closing. This volume makes a much-needed contribution to that project." "Finally, the relationship between Sellars and phenomenology receives the treatment it deserves. This thoughtful collection of papers explores unprecedented territories as it locates in Sellars' own work traces of his complex and longstanding relation with phenomenology. The book is indispensable for anyone interested in the connection between phenomenology and analytic philosophy of Kantian and Neo-Kantian inspiration."
