In order to show how Sellars? early publications depend on contextual factors, Peter Olen reconstructs the conceptions of language, psychological, and social explanation that dominated American philosophy in the early 20th century. Because of Sellars? differing explanations of language and behaviour, Olen argues that many of Sellars? early commitments are incompatible with his later works. In the course of doing so, Olen highlights problematic tensions between Sellars? early and later conceptions of language, meta-philosophy, and normativity. Supplementing the main text is a collection of previously unpublished archival material from Wilfrid Sellars, Gustav Bergmann, Everett Hall, and other early 20th century philosophers. This text will be a useful resource to those with an interest in the history of American philosophy, the history of analytic philosophy, Wilfrid Sellars? philosophy, and the myriad of issues surrounding normativity and language. 606 $aLanguage and languages?Philosophy 606 $aAnalysis (Philosophy) 606 $aEthics 606 $aLogic 606 $aPhilosophy of Language$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E26000 606 $aAnalytic Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E39000 606 $aEthics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000 606 $aLogic$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E16000 615 0$aLanguage and languages?Philosophy. 615 0$aAnalysis (Philosophy). 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aLogic. 615 14$aPhilosophy of Language. 615 24$aAnalytic Philosophy. 615 24$aEthics. 615 24$aLogic. 676 $a149.94 676 $a410.1 700 $aOlen$b Peter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062716 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136845703321 996 $aWilfrid Sellars and the Foundations of Normativity$92528136 997 $aUNINA
